3 potential winners of the Royal Rumble 2018

#2 Roman Reigns

It happened in Philly once before...

John Cena is still probably the most polarizing superstar in WWE history, but if anyone is close to taking that claim, it's the 'Big Dawg' Roman Reigns.

Love him or hate him, in WWE Top Brass' eyes he is 'The Guy', and WWE like to believe that somehow, someway he will be cheered by the majority of the live audience one of these days.

If you think that Roman being booed every week will change WWE's plans, then rethink! .

No, being booed after winning his Royal Rumble in 2015 by almost the entire building doesn't matter, being booed by 90% of the 100,000 + strong AT&T stadium in the main event of WrestleMania 32 doesn't matter and being booed for 5 minutes straight on the post-WrestleMania RAW doesn't even come into the picture, Mr. McMahon still feel the WWE Universe will adore him someday.

Why a Rumble win is quite likely to happen for the Intercontinental Champion is because the Royal Rumble takes place in Philadelphia, the same city, and venue as the 2015 Royal Rumble, when Roman won in front of a hostile crowd.

WWE may think that Roman will be cheered that night and want to give him the poetic return victory after the travesty in 2015.

Unless plans get flipped upside down in the same way as at TLC 2016, Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania, and likely the main event, irrespective of him winning of losing the Rumble.
