5 bold predictions for Royal Rumble 2018

#2 A Raw Superstar will win the Royal Rumble

The stakes are higher than ever

The previous Royal Rumble outings have been fairly entertaining but have ended with sheer disappointment. Despite the numerous possibilities, it seems that this year will be no different. A SmackDown Live superstar was originally rumoured to win the Rumble this year with Shinsuke Nakamura being the heavy favourite. But, if somehow 'The King of Strong Style' does not get the big win, it would be either Roman Reigns, 'Big Match' John or Finn Balor who could book their ticket to WrestleMania.

The stakes are higher than ever and a Raw superstar winning the Royal Rumble seems like a legitimate possibility. WWE's original plan of having Brock Lesnar collide with Roman Reigns at 'The Show of Shows' is still on and with 'The Big Dog' losing the Intercontinental title to 'The Awesome One', it only adds fuel to the fire that he will enter the Royal Rumble as the favourite.

Expect a fantastic Royal Rumble match amalgamated with spectacular spots and a predictable win for a Raw Superstar whose name ends with Reigns. Disappointing, but irrefutable.
