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

Modified Dec 27, 2017 17:56 GMT

WWE returns to the City of Brotherly Love for the 2018 Royal Rumble in Philly!

#1 Bray Wyatt

Once upon a time, he had the whole world in his hands...

His name is Windham Lawrence Rotunda. He is a third-generation product of wrestling royalty. His immediate family includes legendary names such as Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda (I.R.S.) and of course the late, legendary Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan.

Windham got his initial main roster break as Husky Harris, a laughing stock of The Nexus. After being sent back to the proverbial drawing board, Bray Wyatt was born and while I could spend the next 4 paragraphs giving you a Wyatt Family history lesson, I'll just assume you were around for the past 5 years and you are well aware of what Bray Wyatt has to offer.

For whatever reason, the rug was pulled out from under Bray's feet, following his title reign and his career has yet to recover. However, the current feud with Matt Hardy does give fans hope that maybe, just maybe, Vince has not given up on The Eater of Worlds.

Despite the stale period his career has hit, Bray is still popular among the WWE Universe and when he makes an entrance, his fireflies still come alive. Needless to say, there is still life in this Superstar. Bray Wyatt has all the potential in the world to carry the main roster with his unique, highly entertaining persona. He simply needs a kickstart and a win at the Royal Rumble would mean everything to this struggling star.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

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.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
