#1 Shinsuke Nakamura

Give me a better Royal Rumble winner than this man and I'll wait. 'The King of Strong Style' is an unbelievable performer between the ropes and, his death defying offensive abilities make him a dominant force heading into the Royal Rumble. The Japanese sensation unfortunately had an unexciting main roster run so far, with Nakamura struggling to make a name for himself in the main event scene.
Despite a colorless booking, 'the King of Strong Style' has been well protected by the WWE Management on Tuesday Nights. He will enter his first Royal Rumble match this year and, is the favorite to walk out of Wells Fargo Center as the winner.
Nakamura's Royal Rumble victory would put him in a decisive position heading to the Super Dome to challenge the WWE Champion. A dream match is likely to take place at Wrestle Mania with possible speculation of a match between A.J. Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura. If booked right, then on January 28, 2018, the former NXT Champion will outshine all the other 29 superstars to punch his ticket to the main event of Wrestle Mania and, face 'the Phenomenal One' in what could be a show stopper. The whole world wants to see this bout come to life, and since the odds are in Nakamura's favor, we just might see this classic blow the roof off the place at the Super Dome.
