9 WWE superstars most likely to win the Royal Rumble match

#2 The Miz

The Miz

The Miz has been one of the most improved WWE Superstars of the last decade. Ever since his first WWE title reign, The Miz has worked hard to get back to the main event scene, but for years he has remained one of WWE’s best mid-card wrestlers. The Miz has even become one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all-time over the years.

He even possesses the mic skills to talk circles around most of the main eventers. His ring work has also improved significantly and he is more than capable of keeping the fans engaged. His character and gimmick have evolved over the years.

But the real question is whether this justifies a main event push. Yes, it does. The Miz has elevated the Intercontinental Title and he could do the same for the WWE Championship. Plus, The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan would make for an interesting match at WrestleMania (assuming that Bryan defeats AJ Styles).

Though The Miz is currently in some sort of weird storyline with Shane McMahon where he’s trying to get Shane to be his tag team partner, there isn’t much longevity in it and WWE will probably scrap it soon.

#1 The Rock

The Rock

The Rock has long been rumored to return to the squared circle and those rumors have resurfaced again. This time rumors indicate that The Rock will most likely return at the Royal Rumble and will win the Royal Rumble match itself.

This will allow ‘The Great One’ to have one last run at WrestleMania. It seems unlikely that he will return given his busy schedule, but if he enters the Royal Rumble match, then expect him to walk out the victor.

If The Rock wins, he will probably headline WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar (if Brock defeats Braun Strowman) which will make for a good match since the last time these two men fought, Brock emerged victorious. Moreover, The Rock’s presence at WrestleMania will be enough to boost ticket sales.
