5 WWE Superstars who could shockingly win the Royal Rumble
Judging by how good this week's Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live were, serious emphasis on the Royal Rumble PPV has brought legitimate anticipation among the viewers.
Considering that the Royal Rumble is always acknowledged for its element of surprise, legions of WWE fans are expecting a riot at Chase Field, Arizona.
A lot of the stories have worked pretty well on both the brands with the company focussing on multiple stars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, A.J. Styles, and Sasha Banks.
Previous year's Royal Rumble delighted the crowd, with victories for Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka bringing that element of joy and surprise among the WWE Universe.
With Roman Reigns - possibly the most pushed guy on the main roster today, out of action due to Leukaemia, the company could be looking to bring some new faces to the forefront in order to take this business forward.
Legitimate competition from All Elite Wrestling is also playing a pivotal role in coercing the company to bring the spotlight on some underutilised performers, and this might eventually lead to something shocking transpiring at the Royal Rumble.
While stars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Charlotte, A.J. Styles, and Finn Balor stand as genuine favorites, this list features some of the most talented competitors who could shock the world at Chase Field, Arizona.
Who are they? Let's find out. Here are the 5 WWE Superstars who could shockingly win the Royal Rumble.
#1 Shayna Baszler
The popular opinion says that it would be either Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair who would walk out of Chase Field as the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble.
While those two competitors are all set to be a part of history at the Show of Shows, the smart move would be to push the envelope with someone like Shayna Baszler.
The women's division on the main roster lacks depth and quality, and with some of the female superstars struggling to make an impression, Baszler's introduction could be gargantuan for the main roster.
Considering that she wins and shocks the entire world, she could go on to challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 35 in New Jersey.
Personally speaking, I have always been a fan of something unexpected happening at the Royal Rumble, and Baszler's victory could just be icing on the cake for the viewers.
It would also solidify her position in history as the only one in history to debut on the main roster at the Royal Rumble and go on to punch her ticket to the Grandest Stage of Them All.
