Top 10 - Possible Winners for Royal Rumble 2016

1/17/2016

Were only just a week left till the Royal Rumble 2016 is upon us! I know despite that the last two years have been awful, I have big hopes for 2016 especially now that the Royal Rumble match is for the WWE World Heavyweight Title!

Also now that guys like John Cena,Randy Orton,Seth Rollins,Sting,and even Cesaro are injured, the Royal Rumble match for 2016 became less predictable just like in the old days!

There are many picks to win for this match, below I listed the 10 possible winners. Of course it's just all in my opinion so leave yours in the comments below.

Without further ado, let's get into this!

#10
Roman Reigns

Alright starting off our list is probably the one in which the direction WWE will go and that is have Roman Reigns win again for the second annual time.

Now unlike last year, Roman is slowly getting over to the fans. Plus if they put him at No. 1 and work his way through every single superstar that comes, then I think the fans will really go behind his back! That is unless someone like Daniel Bryan comes...

Either way this and the #1 spot on our list are probably the most obvious decisions WWE will do for the Rumble.

#9
Daniel Bryan

I know you're probably asking "why is Daniel Bryan so low on this list?" well we don't know how is he doing these days and if he's 100% cleared to compete in the Royal Rumble.

And don't get me wrong, I'm a Daniel Bryan fan but I don't want him to win the Rumble. Because we all know he's injury prone and if he does have the title again it might just be another mediocre reign.

If he is clear to participate in the Rumble though, I just wish WWE wouldn't be doing any kind of announcement whether on RAW or their website. Just make it a surprise! The problem with him returning is that the people might want him to win, which isn't the best option in my opinion.

#8
Finn Balor

Finn Balor winning the Royal Rumble this year and becoming both the WWE and NXT Champion would be an amazing sight to see! But will it happen? Probably not.

As much as awesome of a scenario that would be I think they wouldn't have Balor win the title just yet. But I do hope he at least makes an appearance in the Royal Rumble!

#7
Kevin Owens

Now just like Finn Balor, I think Kevin Owens if he is the chosen winner for the Rumble would leave the event with two championship belts!

First he will take back the Intercontinental Championship from Dean Ambrose earlier in the night, and then outta nowhere swerves us and wins the Royal Rumble!

Owens is one of the greatest wrestlers in the company right now, he can wrestle and talk on the mic great. And he makes a great heel for Roman Reigns to feud with!

I know this is unlikely to happen and if he does win, he might just drop the belt on FastLane or worst, on RAW.

#6
AJ Styles

For two weeks one of the biggest topics in the wrestling community are the signing of talents from NJPW to WWE.
Shinsuke Nakamura,Doc Gallows,Ken Anderson,and of course AJ Styles are all rumored to be going to WWE.

Now I think The Phenomenal will make his first appearance in the WWE after 10 years in the Royal Rumble and win the the whole match! I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Styles win, he's a great wrestler and would make a great WWE Champion!

But even though if he won't win the belt, I think there's a chance of him appearing in the Rumble!

#5
The Undertaker

Now that the rumored Undertaker vs John Cena on WrestleMania 32 is unlikely to happen because of John Cena's injury then I think what would be awesome if that The Undertaker will have his one last reign with the belt. Especially on this year's WrestleMania it would be on Taker's hometown in Texas.

We all know his career is nearly coming to an end and since the streak is dead, I hope they will pick someone worthy for The Undertaker to lose the belt in WrestleMania as something a "passing of the torch" moment, maybe against Bray Wyatt would be nice. Or he will retain the title at WrestleMania, but vacates it on RAW the next night and receives a huge retirement ceremony.

I wouldn't certainly mind seeing a one last reign for The Undertaker as WWE Champion. Would you?

#4
Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt is certainly overdue for a WWE Title run! Plus Bray had a good rivalry against Roman Reigns last year too so I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them face-off each other again, this time for the title!

I know this is unlikely to happen too but Bray along possibly with the help of his Wyatt Family members will bring home the WWE Championship after the Royal Rumble!

#3
Dean Ambrose

Now we all thought Dean Ambrose would have at least one title reign last year as WWE Champion but obviously that didn't happen. But maybe this year is his time!

It would be amazing to see Ambrose finally turn heel on Roman Reigns! First off he would lose the Intercontinental title against Kevin Owens earlier the night, and then during the Rumble match Ambrose will turn on Reigns after months of "jealousy" and seeing Roman always get to the top but he was just always sidelined!

I know it sounds cliche but it would make an amazing feud! Will he hold the belt until WrestleMania? Sure but he'll probably drop it off to Roman. Either way a Dean Ambrose heel turn has been quite overdue! Will it happen in the Royal Rumble? We'll have to wait and see.

#2
Triple H

Another feud that's been heating for quite some time now is Roman Reigns vs The Authority (Triple H to be exact.)

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Triple H win the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble! Him and Roman Reigns would have an excellent match at WrestleMania, with Hunter putting over Reigns.

But another scenario might come in to play, HHH either enters the Rumble or not, he will still cost Roman Reigns the match and the WWE Title in some way!

#1
Brock Lesnar

Now this is the result I wanna see and possibly the route that WWE will go on! Brock Lesnar conquering the Royal Rumble match and becomes WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the 5th time!

Whether he enters at an early time or near the end, I still think Brock would dominate the match and possibly even beat Roman Reigns' elimination record of: 12.

A Lesnar vs Reigns II at WrestleMania would be nice to see! The two already proved that they can have one helluva match together on last year's WrestleMania and now with no Mr. Money in the Bank on the picture, I'm hoping the finish would be a clean pinfall. Would Brock retain the title at WrestleMania? That I'm not sure of.

But if Reigns does win the Royal Rumble, they can have their match on FastLane (in which Brock is already advertised) and win the belt their.
