9 WWE superstars most likely to win the Royal Rumble match

#4 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has been out due to injury for a couple of months. When he left, Owens was one of the hottest stars on the roster. Therefore when he returns, he is expected to pick up right where he left off.

We have witnessed so many superstars return from an injury and win the Royal Rumble match as a surprise entrant. Wrestlers such as John Cena, Edge, and Triple H returned from an injury and won the Royal Rumble match.

Hence, if ‘The Prizefighter’ does return at the Royal Rumble, history may repeat itself as he may most likely win the 30-man event and will go on to headline WrestleMania.

#3 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has been touted as the future of this company. His recent booking has been carefully calculated to make McIntyre appear as an absolute beast in the ring. Since his return to WWE, he has stood toe-to-toe with some of the best talent on offer and has been victorious.

Moreover, ‘The Scottish Psychopath’ has been able to draw huge heat from the crowd which works in his favor.

Though he is currently feuding with Dolph Ziggler and Finn Balor, McIntyre has to be one of WWE creative’s favorite picks to win the Royal Rumble match. He also has the size to match up to someone like Brock Lesnar or Braun Strowman.

Drew McIntyre’s push is imminent, but whether he gets his push now is left to be seen.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
