#9 Kevin Owens
Now, Kevin Owens may not be the early favorite to walk out of Philadelphia as the Royal Rumble winner but, with the way plans continue to change within the WWE, he just might surprise the world. Ever since K.O. has joined the blue brand, he has been on fire and, has been booked as a dominant heel who continues to question his Commissioner's morality and leadership skills on a weekly basis, with his best friend Sami Zayn.
He is currently scheduled to face A.J. Styles in a 2 on 1 Handicap Match with Zayn for the WWE Championship at the event.
If by some reason WWE decides to push the envelope with Sami & Kevin for a potential dream match at Wrestle Mania, then it makes all the sense in the world to have Kevin Owens win the Royal Rumble and, go on to face Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship. What makes this Rumble win exciting is the story that the duo share with each other.
Since A.J. Styles is currently scheduled to walk in the Super Dome as the WWE Champion, it is highly unlikely that 'the Prizefighter' would walk out as, the winner of the Royal Rumble which is why he is not our favorite to win the Royal Rumble match on January 28, 2018.
