Royal Rumble 2019 is 4 weeks away. The Royal Rumble event marks the beginning of the road to Wrestlemania and officially kick-starts Wrestlemania season. It is one of WWE's Big Four events and is the most highly anticipated event of the year.
This year, two Royal Rumble matches will be taking place, one of which is the men's Royal Rumble match whereas the other is the women's Royal Rumble match. This article will look at the men's Royal Rumble match.
Winning the Royal Rumble match is a huge accomplishment for any WWE superstar. It really is a huge deal to win this match as it guarantees a world title shot at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
In the past, The WWE Universe has been underwhelmed with disappointing winners. A prime example would be that of Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble victory in 2015. Reigns wasn't ready to win the Rumble and unluckily for him, his win came at a time when Daniel Bryan's popularity was at its absolute peak.
Not all superstars deserve to win the Rumble as it puts a huge chip on the winner's shoulder that only a few superstars can carry.
Now, let's get down to the topic of this article, which is 3 superstars who should win the Royal Rumble.
1.Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is one of WWE's top stars who has carried the red brand on his back in the absence of major stars like John Cena, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. He is the WWE Universe's beloved die-hard babyface, similar to Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles.
Rollins has never won the Rumble ever before, which is a shame. It is the only accomplishment and feat that has eluded the Architect. WWE's safest pet to main event Wrestlemania right now is Seth Rollins and the Royal Rumble is his fastest road to Wrestlemania.
In recent weeks, Rollins has brought up Brock Lesnar's name on numerous occasions. Furthermore, he recently lost the Intercontinental title to Dean Ambrose. Could this be a sign of a future feud between Rollins and Lesnar? Rumors have indicated that Rollins Vs Lesnar could be Wrestlemania's main-event.
Seth Rollins is a huge favorite to win this year's Royal Rumble match and I wouldn't bet against him.
2.The Miz
The Miz is one of WWE's most under-appreciated performers, who has consistently been overshadowed by the likes of AJ Styles and John Cena on SmackDown Live. He is one of the best talkers in WWE right now and can hang in there with WWE's best.
He is on the verge of a huge character change and a massive face turn. Current WrestleMania plans involve him in a match against Shane McMahon as evident by their odd alliance. This ongoing story-line with Shane McMahon is intriguing, but The Miz deserves a key spot on this year's Wrestlemania card.
Given Daniel Bryan's heel turn and subsequent WWE Championship win, Miz is the most probable and logical SmackDown Live star to win the Rumble and challenge for the WWE title at WrestleMania. We all know of the intense history between these fierce rivals, but reversing the roles,i.e Miz as the babyface and Daniel Bryan as the heel, will ensure a thrilling rivalry.
Miz deserves more than what he is receiving and it would be a great moment to watch the A-Lister win his first ever Royal Rumble. A Royal Rumble match win might be all that he needs to win the WWE title again.
3. Finn Balor
Finn Balor seems to be on the verge of a massive push. He defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in a huge match that saw him gain considerable momentum. This is a sign of brighter things to come for the Demon King.
He is one of Raw's top babyfaces and is a strong candidate to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal title in the near future, probably at Wrestlemania.
Balor has been overlooked by the WWE management in recent years. But, with a paper-thin roster and with the departure of Roman Reigns, Raw needs a top babyface. Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman seem like good options, but Balor isn't a bad option either. WWE could finally have a suitable replacement for Roman Reigns if management capitalizes on Balor's popularity.
Balor's reemergence into the main event scene could start with a Royal Rumble win and an eventual Universal title match at Wrestlemania.
