#3 Possible: Kairi Sane
Kairi Sane will almost certainly be in action at TakeOver: Philadelphia the night before the Royal Rumble. However, the Mae Young Classic winner is so popular with fans that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see her make a one-off main-roster appearance in the match.
#2 Certainty: Becky Lynch (SmackDown Live)
An outside contender to win the Royal Rumble is Becky Lynch. Portrayed as the ultimate underdog, this would be the perfect opportunity for “The Lass Kicker” to make history and go on to have a featured match at WrestleMania, possibly against best friend Charlotte Flair.
#1 Certainty: Sasha Banks (Raw)
Not only is Sasha Banks is a “Legit Boss” but she’s also a legit main-eventer and a future Hall of Famer. She’s certain to be involved in the first Royal Rumble match and will be among the favourites to win the whole thing.
