Getting Ready To Rumble: Potential 2019 Royal Rumble Winners - Seth Rollins
In this new series, we look at potential winners of the 2019 Royal Rumble match.

Seth Rollins is a two time WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He is a former Money in the Bank winner, and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract in the main event of WrestleMania 31 to win his first World Championship.
He was the brains behind the most dominant trio in WWE history, The Shield. He was the cover star of the video game, WWE 2K18. He is a two time WWE Intercontinental Champion. A former United States Champion, and four-time RAW tag team champion.
Seth Rollins is one of the most decorated superstars on the WWE main roster today. He is also one of its most heavily featured superstars.
Seth Rollins has never won a Royal Rumble match.
Will he add that to his list of accolades this year?
Let's find out.
The case for Seth Rollins to win the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble match
Logic dictates that a babyface Royal Rumble winner is not only one of the most popular superstars on the roster, but also one with the most potential. It is a great honour. The selected superstar must be ready to carry the load of a main event programme on the road to WrestleMania.
The selected superstar must have the presence to compete in a championship match at WrestleMania. And most importantly, the fans should have very strong feelings about the selected superstar. Seth Rollins is that superstar.
He had an excellent 2018, a recent feud with Dean Ambrose notwithstanding. He consistently got the loudest ovations on Monday Night RAW, and any pay-per-view he was on.
Rollins also consistently had the best performances; his near one-hour performance in the February gauntlet match on RAW is the stuff that legends are made of. He has also been de-facto top babyface on Monday Night RAW ever since Roman Reigns' unfortunate illness. However, fans were willing to embrace him as top babyface long before that.
Seth Rollins is one of the best wrestlers in the world. He is a very good promo, has a clearly defined character and fans adore him.
He is an excellent choice to win the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match.
