WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Superstars We Actually Want To See Win

10. Finn Bálor

Yes, we know, he’s injured, but there is a slim chance Finn Bálor could make a surprise return at the Royal Rumble to begin his journey of redemption. After winning the WWE Universal title last year (with a bloody broken shoulder!), Finn was forced to vacate the strap the very next night in a scene of absolute sh*thousery but necessity. He then went into hiding but has started to show up again in the UK at ICW’s Fear & Loathing IX show in Glasgow, a live Gorilla Position podcast with Bayley, and to launch the WWE UK Championship in London with Triple H and William Regal.

Okay, sure, this isn’t active competition by a long shot, but he’s slowly gaining traction again and reminding WWE fans who he is and why we should give a crap. Finn never lost the title and was never able to prove to the mainstream WWE audience why he was top dog in NXT for so damn long. If he comes in and eliminates Rollins for the win, the Alamodome will pop like a Big Show sized balloon.
