3 WWE Superstars who shouldn't win the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble match

The Royal Rumble is still three weeks away, but the build to the first pay-per-view event of 2019 is weak. It will emanate from the Chase Field in Arizona and will stream live on the WWE Network. The Royal Rumble sets the tone for the build to Wrestlemania and the winner of the Royal Rumble match has a clear-cut path to 'The Showcase of Immortals.' As always, the winner of the Rumble match will get a title shot at Wrestlemania.

Although WWE's roster is loaded with undeniable talent and charisma, only a few viable stars are worthy of winning the Rumble and headlining Wrestlemania.

Furthermore, the last 3 of 5 Royal Rumbles have left a majority of WWE's fan-base underwhelmed and disappointed. Batista's win in 2014 was met with a ton of criticism, the Roman Reigns' fan resentment started off with his Rumble win in 2015 and whereas Triple H's and Randy Orton's Rumble victories weren't met with severe resentment, the two aforementioned stars were underwhelming winners.

Now, let's get down to 3 WWE stars who should not win the 2019 Royal Rumble.

#3.The Rock

The Rock's time in the main event scene is up.

An interesting report emerged a few months ago which suggested an in-ring return for The Rock and a dream feud with Roman Reigns, which would be set up with The Rock's shocking return and a Royal Rumble win. However, Reigns fell ill and the match was scrapped.

Although his match with Reigns was called off, The Rock is still a huge favorite to win the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble match. Many officials backstage have been clamoring for a Wrestlemania show-down between Brock Lesnar and The Rock. With Lesnar now Universal Champion, this match might as well be on the cards.

In my opinion, The Rock shouldn't win the Royal Rumble due to his part-time status and old age. The Royal Rumble match should be used to elevate younger talent and The Rock is way past his prime. Furthermore, The Rock has already won the Rumble match and may face fan backlash for stealing the spotlight from deserving talent if he wins the Rumble match.

#2. Drew Mcintyre

Drew Mcintyre is one of the favourites to win the Royal Rumble match.

Drew Mcintyre is one of WWE's most talented stars right now and has a bright future ahead of him. He was booked strongly through 2018, as evident by his six-month-long undefeated streak in singles competition.

Mcintyre is the future of WWE and is rumoured to have a Universal title run in the future. The Scottish Psychopath is being groomed for a huge push in the WWE, but a Royal Rumble win for him is not the correct way to launch him to the stratosphere.

Mcintyre hasn't even spent a full year on the main roster and there are better candidates to win the Rumble match. He is still inexperienced and his character needs more work. WWE ought not to rush with his push which is why he shouldn't win the Royal Rumble match.

#1.Shawn Michaels

Mr.

Wrestlemania

Shawn Michaels returned to the ring at WWE Crown Jewel after staying retired for 8 years. Although he looked fine in the ring, he is a shell of the performer he was prior to his retirement.

Many would argue that Shawn ruined his legacy by coming out of retirement for a match alongside Triple H against the Brothers of Destruction. Many felt that Shawn should have faced younger talent, which is why the rumor mill is running hot for a host of Wrestlemania dream matches for Shawn.

Daniel Bryan is the current WWE Champion and was trained by Shawn. These two icons have a genuine history and WWE would look to capitalize on their history and might book a showdown between Michaels and Bryan at Wrestlemania.

With all due respect to Michaels, he shouldn't win the Rumble match as he is past his prime and he should let others grab the spotlight.
