#7 Samoa Joe

Unlike Finn Balor, Samoa Joe did receive quite a strong push in 2018 even challenging for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. However, the ’Samoan Submission Machine’ failed to win any major title since arriving on the main roster.

Joe has the gimmick and is more than capable of drawing a reaction from the crowd. He also possesses great in-ring and mic skills which means his time is not too far away. WWE have probably been considering pushing him for quite a while now.

The Royal Rumble may seem like the perfect time to do something noteworthy with Samoa Joe by having him win the Royal Rumble match and challenge for either the WWE or Universal Championship at WrestleMania.

#6 John Cena

While John Cena may seem like the most unlikely candidate to win the Royal Rumble match, you never know with WWE. Cena is just one title win away from breaking Ric’s Flair’s record of most World Title wins.

As we all know, Cena is wrestling on borrowed time and may soon hang up his boots for good. Hence, WWE might consider giving him one last hurrah with the title before he rides off into the sunset. The Royal Rumble could be the perfect time to do so by having Cena win the Royal Rumble match and headline WrestleMania for one final time.
