WWE Royal Rumble 2016: Early Betting Predictions

10. Randy Orton

At odds of 12/1 the bookmakers certainly seem to be giving Randy Orton a good outside chance of winning the 2016 edition of the Royal Rumble match. Reasons he should win €“ As a previous Rumble winner (2009) and a 4-time WWE Champion, Orton certainly has the pedigree to be regarded as a worthy winner, Therefore, by letting him win next year€™s match WWE would potentially avoid a repeat of earlier this year, when the fans deemed Roman Reigns an unworthy winner and booed him out of the building. Reasons he shouldn€™t win €“ Whilst Orton is still a solid player in the WWE who is more than capable of participating in the WrestleMania main event, it€™s hard to deny that he has become a bit stale in recent years. To be honest I can see his role at next year€™s WrestleMania being to put over a younger up-and-coming talent, which seems strange to say, because at 35-years-old Orton is still reasonably young himself. Nonetheless I would say it€™s unlikely he€™ll be the last man standing come the end of next year€™s Royal Rumble match.
