5 early favourites to win the 2018 Royal Rumble

#1 John Cena (joint-favourite)

John Cena has won two Royal Rumble matches

For those of you who thought John Cena’s biggest WWE moments were behind him: think again. The two-time Royal Rumble winner is the joint-favourite to outlast 29 other men in the 2018 match.

He is currently away from WWE to film The Pact and Transformers spin-off Bumblebee. However, he will surely have his sights set on breaking Ric Flair’s World Championship record when he returns.
