10 Last-Minute WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Predictions
1. Randy Orton To Win The 2017 Royal Rumble
Even as I write that it sounds difficult to believe, especially when you consider the array of talent on display in this year’s match. But news of a late odds swing in favour of Randy Orton has suggested that he could be set to add to his Rumble win from back in 2009 with victory at the 2017 event.
Stranger things have happened, and if we take a look back and survey the bigger picture then an Orton win might not be as farfetched as it sounded in the first place.
Currently you’d expect to see some sort of story involving Orton and Bray Wyatt at this year’s WrestleMania, and with Meltzer noting in this week’s Observer that Styles isn't set to be WWE Champion heading into ‘Mania, what if Wyatt were to win the gold at the Elimination Chamber PPV and set up a meeting with his newest recruit to the Wyatt Family?
For me, it seems like a bit of a long-shot—but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t make for an awesome WrestleMania prorgamme. Either way, this latest odds swing only reinforces the point that this year’s Rumble is nigh on impossible to call for certain, meaning we should be in store for a cracking show come Sunday night in the Alamodome.
