WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Wrestlers With A Legit Chance Of Winning

8. Samoa Joe

Some fans were concerned that Joe's recapturing of the NXT title would delay his main roster debut, but Kevin Owens was called up while he still held the strap, so this shouldn't be an impediment to debuting in time for the Rumble (although the clock is ticking, so get moving, WWE).

By popular consensus, Brock Lesnar sits at the top of the list of dream Samoa Joe opponents, but AJ Styles and KO - who hold WWE's world titles going into the Rumble (for the time being at least) - aren't far behind, and Joe challenging either of them in Orlando would at least guarantee a WrestleMania worthy match, even if there may be more financially rewarding alternatives.
