#4 Baron Corbin
The Lone Wolf winning the Royal Rumble isn’t a possibility that a lot of people are considering, but it makes perfect sense when you look at WWE’s track record.
Baron Corbin has been highly favoured by WWE management since his debut at WrestleMania 32 and has continued to compete against main eventers while racking up some big accomplishments.
With only two years on the main roster, Corbin has won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, the Money in the Bank Contract, and the United States Championship – not exactly a rocket getting strapped to his back, but it’s definitely a progressive buildup.
Corbin did lose the Money in the Bank cash-in match, but that was rumoured to have more to do with his comments backstage rather than WWE management being displeased with his wrestling or persona. In fact, his mounting losses in 2017 seem like they’re building to something and a Royal Rumble victory could be the endgame.
This isn’t an outcome I’d prefer, but I can’t shake this feeling that all these losses for Corbin are leading to a big win in the near future.
