Predicting the wrestlers who could most likely win the Royal Rumble 2013

Royal Rumble is an event that most of us know for its surprises. We have seen some of the most shocking returns only in this PPV. Every January, we see someone winning the Royal Rumble and earning a chance to challenge the champion in a match in the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania and this year is not going to be any different. Again, we will witness a wrestler battle out all the odds against 29 other wrestlers and win the Royal Rumble. But the question that remains is: who this wrestler is going to be? Here’s a list of probable wrestlers who could win the Royal Rumble this year.

Daniel Bryan

If team Hell NO is a success today, then one important reason for that is without doubt Daniel Bryan. He has played his gimmick with utmost perfection and is today regarded as one of the best performers in the ring. Not only is he good inside the ring, his mic skills are also laudable. His tag team with Kane allowed WWE to bring to life the tag team section and now that this section is alive and kicking, it is time both these superstars went their separate ways. The best way to do that would be by making Daniel Bryan win the Royal Rumble. For long, we have waited for Daniel Bryan to enter the World Heavyweight Championship and this could be just the opportune moment for him.

Dolph Ziggler

Well, I don’t see much possibility of this happening but still it is something that the WWE can try out. With Ziggler getting the nod from WWE officials, Royal Rumble could be his turning point. What about his MITB briefcase then? Well, if this scenario were to be carried out, then we will see Ziggler unsuccessfully challenging his briefcase to later enter the Rumble and win it. Though I personally would not like this to happen, there is still a possibility.

Sheamus

Please, not again. Sheamus won the Rumble last year and I don’t think I’ll be able to bear him win another one. Frankly, Sheamus has gone stale and needs some sort of reconstruction with regard to his gimmick despite being a babyface. Till then, I guess the WWE should take Sheamus out of the title run. However, we could still see Sheamus get that one last push to face Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship again.

The Rock

Now this would surely be a shocker. The Rock winning the Rumble will become a possibility only if he loses to Punk in their title match. The Rock could lose to Punk possibly due to the interruption of The Shield. Also, there is a possibility of CM Punk doing the same the other way round. We could see The Rock defeat Punk and then Punk gets into the Rumble and wins it courtesy of help from The Shield.

John Cena

For the umpteenth time, we will be seeing John Cena get a shot at the title again if this happens. I would not like this to happen on a personal front but there is a great possibility that this will happen. Cena can win the Rumble and then face The Rock in Wrestlemania where he will again become the WWE Champion.

Ryback

Ryback is another name that you can omit when considering the Rumble. With Ryback recieving a mammoth push to the top, it will be relevant to see him win the Rumble. With news around that Ryback will face Big Show in Wrestlemania for the World Heavyweight Championship, there is a huge possibility of Ryback winning the Royal Rumble this time.

Alberto Del Rio

We have seen Alberto Del Rio facing off with Big Show of late in SmackDown. There are chances of Del Rio winning the Rumble and facing the Big Show but compared to the other wrestlers in this list, the possibility of this happening is quite less.
