10 Potential WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Winners

10. Braun Strowman

Just cracking the top 10 is a man who Vince McMahon would probably put over in a heartbeat if he didn't have so many other, more qualified superstars to choose from. Braun Strowman makes the list because of his association with the Wyatt Family, a WWE creative favorite, as well as his massive size. It's no secret that Vince loves his top superstars to be larger-than-life and Strowman definitely meets that physical criteria. The fact that he's greener than goose sh*t though makes his chances of realistically winning the Royal Rumble quite thin. Still, Strowman is among the top 10 superstars on the current roster who have any realistic shot at winning if for no other reason than the boss loving his size. In fact, Strowman winning the Royal Rumble in 2016 wouldn't be the first time Vince gave the battle royal match to a super heavyweight rookie as Yokozuna came out of nowhere to win it in 1993. An impressive showing where he accumulates multiple eliminations is more likely than him actually winning the whole thing though, and is why he enters the list at number 10.
