#1 Becky Lynch
While Lynch isn't the betting favorite, she is the sentimental favorite and the best logical choice to win the second-ever Women's Royal Rumble.
She needs to get to Wrestlemania to face Rousey somehow, and the Royal Rumble match is the best way to do it. They may always just have Lynch straight up challenge her but a rumble win would be the right reward for her carrying WWE in the latter months of 2018.

If the McMahons were serious about changing things up in their 'New Era', then rewarding someone who has carried the women's divisions to a new level would be a proper step.
Lynch vs. Rousey is one of the few matches that could legitimately close out Wrestlemania 35 and the time for that match happening is in April. WWE must strike while the iron is hot rather than give Flair another shot at someone she's already faced.
If Flair does win, it's just a sign that some of the promises they made were hollow. Sure, Becky has received more opportunities than say, Ember Moon, but Lynch was on fire this year and should rightly win the match. Don't be surprised if she and Flair are the final two combatants.
