WWE Royal Rumble 2016: Early Betting Predictions

1. Seth Rollins

The other 4/1 favourite for the 2016 Royal Rumble match is the current WWE Champion, Seth Rollins. Reasons he should win €“ Having had such a successful run with the WWE Championship since WrestleMania earlier this year, Rollins would definitely be a worthy Rumble winner and a win would help cement his quickly-growing legacy of being one of the main faces of the company for years to come. Reasons he shouldn€™t win €“ Competing in the 2016 Rumble match would require Rollins to lose his WWE Championship sometime between now and January, 2016. Unless Sting defeats him at Night of Champions (although with Rollins the early bookmaker€™s favourite at 2/9 this doesn€™t seem likely) or Sheamus cashes in his Money in the Bank contract to win the title, then I€™m not sure that it makes much sense for Rollins to lose the title any time soon. I don€™t think he should even be competing in the Rumble, never mind winning it. We'll see how the odds change between now and the Rumble itself.
