5 Favourites and the dark horse who could win the Royal Rumble 2018

The Dark Horse – Finn Balor

"The Demon" will rise again.

The Irish wrestler is our top pick to win for the upcoming Royal Rumble match. WWE has not booked him in a singles match with an opponent of his calibre in the last couple of months. That might be a genuine way of “protecting” him before the Royal Rumble match.

Usually, a lot of Superstars are extremely vocal prior to the Rumble match about how they are going to win. But these Superstars seldom win. Notably, Balor has been quite “silent” both in the ring and at the backstage. We have rarely seen him in an interview.

Aftermath:

Owing to the low-quality booking that Finn Balor has got in the last couple of weeks, Balor can go to SmackDown Live, the land of opportunity, post his Royal Rumble win to face the phenomenal AJ Styles for the WWE Championship.
