5 dark horses who could win the 2018 Royal Rumble

#1 Finn Balor

The Demon King can recapture the title that he never lost.

It came off as a surprise when Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins at the 2016 Summerslam to become the inaugural Universal Champion. Many of us did not expect the demon king to capture the Universal Championship after being called up to the main roster. His reign was short lived after he had to relinquish the championship the very next day on Raw due to the injury he suffered during the match.

Ever since he made his return to the ring, Balor is yet to receive his one-on-one rematch for the championship which he didn't lose. It was reported that Vince McMahon cancelled the match between Balor and Lesnar at the Royal Rumble because the chairman thinks that Balor is not over with the fans. This has created a serious displeasure among the fans as they have proved many times that they are behind the Demon King.

This could all be a way to distract the fans and hit them by surprise by having Finn Balor win the 2018 Royal Rumble match and go on to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 34 for the Universal Championship.
