3 possible winners of the men's Royal Rumble match this year

The first RAW of this decade started with a huge announcement, as The Beast Incarnate decided to kick-off the show, and his advocate raised the stakes of the men's Royal Rumble match this year by announcing that his client would enter at number 1.

This took the WWE Universe by storm, but it raised the importance of this year's match because a Champion has not been a part of the Royal Rumble match for some time.

It also got the fans intrigued, as this is an opportunity to challenge the Champion at The Grandest Stage of Them All. While Brock Lesnar has been a part-time Champion, he's still the most talked-about Superstar on major wrestling platforms.

Royal Rumble is among the top four shows of the company, and with Lesnar entering the match at the top spot, there's a huge possibility that he may be eliminated. He might as well win it. In this article, we analyze 3 possible winners of the men's Royal Rumble.

#3 Roman Reigns

The Big Dog

Roman Reigns has been in every Royal Rumble since his debut on the main brand, except last year due to illness. The Big Dog has always been the company's favorite, and he has been a part of WrestleMania main events many times.

The past few months have been special for him as he returned on the February 25, 2019, episode of Monday Night RAW, and is currently involved in a great storyline with Baron Corbin. The storyline is one of the biggest selling points for the SmackDown brand, and he's also one of the most important Superstars that could win this year's Royal Rumble match.

He lost his World Title to Triple H during Royal Rumble 2016. Winning the match this year will allow him to fight for the coveted title at WrestleMania 36.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre said it outright on RAW that he has not had a title opportunity on the main roster since his return, and it seems to be the right time for The Scottish Psychopath to get his desired push. He has the style, charisma, in-ring ability, and mic skills required to be a top Superstar in the WWE.

He was called The Chosen One for a long time, but that didn't help him until he returned and fought his way through NXT to the main roster. He has shown that his prowess between the ropes is unmatchable, and with that, he can be a big draw for the company as WrestleMania draws closer.

His win would be the turning point of his career and will be beneficial for the company, so the creative team shouldn't let this slip.

#1 Brock Lesnar

With his entry in the first position, and with 29 other Superstars fighting for an opportunity to challenge the WWE Champion at WrestleMania 36, Brock Lesnar has feeble chances of walking out with the win in this match.

However, the WWE Universe has become accustomed to the fact that anything can happen in the company, so The Beast may win the match as well. If he wins the battle, the unexpected result would set the tone for WrestleMania.

While it may not be a popular decision, it's a good one for business. Lesnar already has heat for being a part-timer and a Champion. Therefore, a win by him would help his humble advocate use the nuclear heat to hype the Royal Rumble match win as well as various other aspects to create a great storyline for WrestleMania 36.
