WWE Royal Rumble 2016: Early Betting Predictions

3. Roman Reigns

This year€™s winner Roman Reigns is the bookies€™ third overall favourite Superstar to win the 2016 Royal Rumble at odds of 6/1. Reasons he should win €“ Whether you like him or not it€™s clear that WWE wants Reigns to be one of the faces of the company over the next few years. Letting him win back-to-back Royal Rumbles would therefore cement his place as a top-level superstar and also give him a chance to redeem his main event loss at this year€™s WrestleMania. Given the improvements Reigns has made since being booed mercilessly when he won last year€™s Rumble, fans might perhaps be a bit more accepting should he win it again in 2016. Thus WWE might see this as their second chance to execute the main event push they seemingly had planned for Roman earlier this year. Reasons he shouldn€™t win €“ Whilst the fans€™ negative reaction towards Reigns isn€™t as bad at the minute as it was around the period when he won the 2015 Rumble, it€™s still not improved to the level where they would be happy to see him win back-to-back Rumble matches.
