#2 Baron Corbin

King Corbin would be a very surprising pick to win The Royal Rumble!

Believe it or not, Baron Corbin has quite the winning streak going over the past couple of months and he could very well parlay that into a Royal Rumble victory. In fact, between his two wins over Roman Reigns, winning the King of the Ring tournament, and retiring Kurt Angle, he might just be the most qualified choice to win the annual match.

Keep in mind, he is also one of the most despised Superstars on the entire SmackDown roster, which would really be a great dynamic against The Fiend. The fans may not be happy with this choice, but that's kind of the point; it will only make the person he ultimately faces all the more beloved.

In the end, Baron Corbin could be a perfect choice for multiple reasons. First of all, he would be an easy guy to give a loss to versus The Fiend. Secondly, it allows The Fiend to somewhat turn babyface and lastly, it is the crowning moment that The Fiend deserves. all at the expense of someone that is expendable.
