#2 Keith "Bearcat" Lee is a potential WWE megastar
Despite the stop-start nature of his WWE run so far, Keith "Bearcat" Lee is another potential Royal Rumble winner. Vince McMahon seems to finally be on board with his presentation, which could lead to a sizable push for the former NXT Champion on RAW.
If Lee can garner enough momentum in the coming months, he has a chance of winning the Royal Rumble Match in 2022. It may even happen with him as a part of The Hurt Business, as teased on the Red brand this week.

Either way, a match between Big E and Keith Lee for the WWE Championship sounds like a phenomenal idea for WrestleMania.
#1 Seth Rollins can return to SmackDown if he wins the Royal Rumble
Seth Rollins is currently the next challenger to face Big E for the WWE Championship but beyond that, he might be among the favorites to win the Royal Rumble Match. This is, of course, if The Drip God does not win the title from Big E.
If Roman Reigns faces Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble, Rollins is among the top choices to challenge the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 38. This would be possible if he wins the 30-man match, becoming a two-time victor in the process.
Rollins can then return to SmackDown to face Reigns, with the two having teased a title feud multiple times earlier this year. The match would be excellent, thanks to the in-ring chemistry between the former Shield brothers and their storytelling capabilities.
Alternatively, if Seth Rollins wins the WWE Championship, Big E can win the Royal Rumble and face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38. Either scenario works well, as would every other option covered here. The 2022 Men's Royal Rumble Match looks set to be an incredibly exciting affair.
