5 Superstars who could shock the world and win the Royal Rumble match

#4 Finn Balor:

Could the Demon descend upon the Alamodome?

The debut of Balor on the main roster and his subsequent Universal Championship win at Summerslam were two of WWE’s best moments in 2016. However, he sustained a shoulder injury in the process which meant that he had to vacate the title. This left the audience unfulfilled and dreaming about the return of the demon king.

There are very few scenarios which will mean as much to the fans, as Balor winning the Rumble and getting redemption in the main event of Wrestlemania. The very thought of Balor’s demon entrance on a Wrestlemania scale has one frothing at the mouth, and it has the potential to be remembered as one of the more iconic moments of the modern era.

Add to this equation the fact that Balor is not only one of WWE’s most beloved babyfaces but also one of it’s best workers, and there is almost no limit to the amount of drama you can extract from one of his main events. Let’s also not forget about the added element of him returning to Orlando for Wrestlemania, the site of many of his great NXT performances.
