5 potential challengers for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble

#3 Bobby Roode

The Royal Rumble could be GLORIOUS!!

Bobby Roode has not really set the world on fire, like how most expected him to, since his arrival on the main roster. This is mainly because he is much better at playing the egotistical heel. Due, however, to a very popular entrance, creative have opted to bring him up as a babyface and seem to be sticking to the plan.

Also, as we have seen lately, the WWE is not afraid to do 'heel vs heel' and 'face vs face' encounters. With this in mind, do not be surprised if Bobby Roode wins a number one contender's match and puts on a great match with A. J. Styles at the Rumble. I do not think it is his time to carry the brand yet, but a good showing against the Phenomenal One would be a good stepping stone.
