7 WWE Superstars who deserve to win the Royal Rumble....but won't

#3 Tye Dillinger

Enter c — What a PERFECT way to kickoff 2018!

Tye Dillinger has the advantage of having the fans behind him, a luxury which most NXT call-ups do not enjoy immediately. For whatever reason, Tye just has that gift of being well liked by everyone around him. With this in mind, Tye is also at a very pivotal point in his career. He did not make it to the main roster until he was already n his mid-30's, so the clock was ticking immediately upon arrival.

If WWE officials plan on making moves with Tye Dillinger, the time is now and the trigger should be pulled sooner than later! With Tye already having the support of the WWE fanbase, a surprise win at The Rumble could be the catalyst in which Tye needs to propel his career into the fast lane towards success. But, is there enough backstage support?

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
