10 Outside Bets To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2018
5. Randy Orton
Everything would be weird about Randy Orton somehow winning another Royal Rumble, which is exactly the reason why they might just actually do it.
'The Viper's career is one of extreme contradiction. Wrestlers consider him one of the finest in the field, gifted from the moment his father snuck him in to the WWE system. Yet fans often dread the tedium that come with so many of his major matches. His battles almost always play to complete silence until an RKO 'outta nowhere' gets audiences as excited as they were to share millions of inexplicably hilarious memes of the move. His legacy is absolutely glittering, despite enough periods in the company doghouse to kill most legends.
Alongside zillions of forgettable title reigns, Orton has also twice won the Royal Rumble. On both occasions there were far bigger stars in the match than him, yet his path to WrestleMania was long etched in stone. This would almost certainly be the case should he triumph in 2018. Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura seem heavy favourites from a logical standpoint, but a record-tying third win in the match would yet again defy convention and drastically shake up another moribund spell for the character.
