5 WWE Stars who should win the Royal Rumble, but probably won't

#3 Kofi Kingston

Kofi deserves his rematch against Brock Lesnar

Kofi Kingston is one of the greatest Royal Rumble performers of all time. His unique and highly entertaining ways of saving himself from elimination are the stuff of legend. To this point in his career though, he's never been able to last all the way to the finish. That should come to an end this year for one simple reason. Kofi deserves his rematch against Brock Lesnar.

I was not a big fan of the way Kofi dropped the WWE Championship to Lesnar in a mere 8 seconds back in October. During his 180-day title reign, Kingston was booked as strong as anyone in WWE. He defeated some of the company's top stars including Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and Randy Orton. Then all it took was one F5 from Lesnar to take the Title off of him? This is something that has not sat well with me over the last few months.

Lesnar was swiftly switched over to RAW, taking the WWE Championship away from Kofi as The New Day remained on SmackDown. A Royal Rumble victory for Kingston would negate that as the winner can challenge the Champion of his choosing. Kingston should immediately show up on RAW the night after the Rumble and challenge The Beast. I'm not saying Kofi could or should win at WrestleMania. It would simply give him the chance to step in the ring with Brock and put on the show he didn't get the chance to back on SmackDown's premiere on FOX.
