#3 Seth Rollins could win Rumble by eliminating Drew McIntyre

McIntyre and Rollins in action

Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre are top contenders to win Royal Rumble match this year. Rollins had a memorable last year, and he won the Intercontinental title twice. He will be determined to continue his excellent run.

Rollins has won every active title in WWE, and he is a Grand Slam champion. However, he has never won the Universal title. In fact, he has never won the Royal Rumble match, and he will be aiming to win the first Royal Rumble match in his career.

Rollins and McIntyre fought on Raw where Rollins defeated the Scottish Psychopath. They had an intense segment, and both men claimed to win the Royal Rumble match. The segment suggests that the two men could be the last two survivors at Chase Field.

#2 Becky Lynch could win the women's Royal Rumble match after losing to Asuka

The Man will face the Empress of Tomorrow

Becky Lynch has attained immense popularity, and she could be the women's Royal Rumble winner this year. The current Smackdown women's champion Asuka won the maiden women's Royal Rumble match last year. Subsequently, she headlined Wrestlemania 34 where Charlotte Flair broke her undefeated streak.

Becky Lynch had an astonishing last year, and she won the Smackdown women's champion at Hell in a Cell. The WWE Universe well appreciates Lynch after turning heel. She has reinvented herself as a heel, and she had an excellent rivalry with Charlotte Flair. However, she lost her title at TLC where Asuka claimed the Smackdown women's title in a triple threat match.

Lynch is scheduled to fight Asuka at Royal Rumble, but she is not likely to pin the Empress of Tomorrow. Nevertheless, Lynch can participate in the women's Royal Rumble match, and she might win the match. Lynch could challenge the Raw women's champion Ronda Rousey if she manages to win the Rumble.

#1 Braun Strowman might help Finn Balor to beat Brock Lesnar

Lesnar after attacking Finn Balor

Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal title first time after winning it at Crown Jewel. Lesnar fought at Survivor Series, but it was a champion vs champion match. Finn Balor won the fatal 4-way match on Raw, and he earned a title shot at Royal Rumble. The Universal title could change hands at Royal Rumble.

Braun Strowman was the original challenger of Brock Lesnar, but he was taken out of the match by Vince McMahon. Afterwards, Finn Balor qualified to face Lesnar when he defeated John Cena, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin. Balor could be a mismatch for Lesnar as the two men have notable size difference. However, Balor can pull off an upset if Strowman gets involved in the match.

Lesnar appeared on Raw this week where he attacked Balor. As a matter of fact, Lesnar assaulted Balor when he was having a match against Braun Strowman. Lesnar is scheduled to have UFC fight this year, and he could lose the Universal title. It will be a remarkable achievement for Balor if he manages to defeat Brock Lesnar.
