#1 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman has had a monstrous year so far. He has improved significantly over the last year; from squashing jobbers to 'monster-handling' Brock Lesnar, Braun has come a long way. Braun Strowman is all set for big things as a match with Triple H.
One thing that puts Braun over Reigns is the crowd appeal; Strowman is over with almost the entire crowd. He is a big guy that fans cheer and that is unique in the WWE. Reigns winning the Rumble is probably too obvious and might not go well with the fans.
