10 Wild Outside Bets To Win WWE 2019 Men's Royal Rumble

9. Drew McIntyre

With each passing week, the prospect of the Ayrshire longboy standing even taller at the end of Royal Rumble seems increasingly likely. Assuming Brock Lesnar still holds the Universal Title come WrestleMania, he needs somebody to challenge for it. So long as that somebody comes from within WWE's ranks, it's hard to find too many contenders on the Raw side better suited than big Drew.

Finn Bálor? We already know he's "not over enough" to battle Brock. Seth Rollins? He probably has other Shield-shaped plans. Braun Strowman? That particular carousel's already lost its appeal through repeat rotations. Realistically, nobody else has the look - and crucially, the protection - of McIntyre. The Chosen One could be The One.

Probability: Bet your garden shed on it, if not quite your whole house.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
