The heart of the matter
Mick Foley stated the following when probed about his favorites to win the Royal Rumble matches—
“This is a historic rumble, right? The first women's Royal Rumble, that's an amazing announcement. I'm picking Becky Lynch to win the women's Royal Rumble—she is just riding a real wave of momentum. The men's rumble, you don't know if it's going to be one of the really big guys, or one of those guys who has been around for a long time, (and) I'm going with Sheamus.”
Furthermore, Foley explained that he’s a big fan of The Bar and loves the work their doing on RAW today, besides also praising Drew Gulak. Foley added that The Miz and the Miztourage are highly entertaining as well.

Author’s take
Mick Foley may be spot-on with the Becky Lynch prediction, however, the Sheamus pick seems to be a long shot.
Meanwhile, it’s great to see that Foley appreciates The Miz as much as the vast majority of the hardcore professional wrestling community. Besides, it’ll be awesome to have Foley attend the milestone event of RAW. Keep your fingers crossed, folks.
