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

This year’s Rumble is stacked....

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura:

Will Nakamura be on double duty this weekend?

Nakamura is the reigning NXT champion, but he could potentially drop the strap to Bobby Roode this weekend. This would mean that he would be free to move up to the main roster and win the Royal Rumble match.

However, when you put all these technicalities to one side, Nakamura has multiple Tokyo Dome classics under his belt and should be considered a no-brainer for a big match on the Wrestlemania card. His immense charisma can project to tens of thousands in a stadium, and he can almost certainly put on a classic with just about anybody under a WWE contract.

Without any shadow of a doubt, Nakamura is the consummate showman, and he is in some ways, as close to the perfect professional wrestler as there is. This has resulted in several people calling for him to be positioned as WWE’s lead babyface for the next 2-3 years.
