5 WWE Superstars who could shockingly win the Royal Rumble

#4 Nikki Cross

Is Nikki Cross the future of the women's division?

If character work and in-ring skills are anything to take into consideration, then it is Nikki Cross that fits the bill to shock the world at Chase Field, Arizona.

Cross has earned the reputation of being one of the most engaging female competitors on the planet and her rivalry with Asuka could be renewed if she manages to win the Royal Rumble.

Considering that Vince McMahon wants Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch to headline the Show of Shows, this leaves Asuka without a legitimate opponent.

With the company continuing to push some new talent going forward into 2019, Nikki Cross could come as a fresh contender for the Empress of Tomorrow on the blue brand.

Both the performers know how to tear it out on the biggest stage possible and possess some fine intensity and madness to bring something exceptional to the table at WrestleMania 35.
