WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 WWE Superstars Who Could Win
6. Ryback
There's reason to believe that if Vince McMahon has the book again in WWE that he'll absolutely be all for putting the big push behind Ryback and having him win the 2016 Royal Rumble. Ryback's a company guy, does everything he's asked without questioning authority, and in some perverse way, after weathering the CM Punk storm and some terrible booking while IC champ, deserves the win. However, when one thinks about how the WWE Universe would respond to a Ryback win, the notion of something more explosive than the split response John Cena gets is possible. Is that a good thing that WWE wants to consider? If Vince has as much stroke and control with the book as many perceive he has, we'll absolutely get to see.
