The five likeliest WWE superstars to win the 2019 men’s Royal Rumble, including Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre
Who will punch their ticket to a guaranteed title match at Wrestlemania 35?
WWE’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view is edging closer.
It is one of the company’s biggest events of the year, which kickstarts the road to Wrestlemania.
Here, marvelbet369.com looks at the five likeliest men to win this Sunday’s Royal Rumble event.
5. Andrade
Andrade is reportedly in line for a huge push after a lacklustre 2018. The Mexican was used sparingly after being called up to the main roster last May.
But it’s a new year, new Andrade, by the looks of it. The former NXT Champion has had two pinfall victories over wrestling legend Rey Mysterio in as many weeks.
He’s one of the WWE superstars with the most momentum heading into the Royal Rumble.
4. The Miz
The Miz and Shane McMahon will take on The Bar for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships at the Royal Rumble.
It’s not uncommon for a superstar to be in a Championship match and a Royal Rumble bout, though.
The Miz could lose to The Bar and then enter the 30-man Royal Rumble match later on that night.
By winning the Royal Rumble, WWE fans could get a babyface Miz vs a heel Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 35. That would be quite something.
3. Braun Strowman
After being stripped of a Universal Championship opportunity against Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman is bound to take out his anger on his colleagues.
Without a match at the pay-per-view, The Monster Among Men is bound to enter the men’s Royal Rumble.
Strowman eliminated 13 men at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia last year. So, surely WWE will let him compete in Sunday’s pay-per-view?
2. Drew McIntyre
Similarly to Andrade, Drew McIntyre has been earmarked as a potential 2019 Royal Rumble winner. He looked like being WWE’s top guy after tapping out WWE legend Kurt Angle to his own Ankle Lock finisher in a squash match in November.
But he has been pinned clean by Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins since.
A Royal Rumble win could be the rebirth of the Scottish Psychopath.
1. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is the bookies’ favourite to win this year’s Royal Rumble match. He was arguably WWE’s best superstar of 2018 and his momentum has carried through into the New Year.
The Architect is one of the most popular superstars in the wrestling world and has been rumoured to face and beat Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Wrestlemania 35.
And taking into account the role he’s been on for the past 18 months, he deserves to leave The Show of Shows standing tall.
