WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Wrestlers With A Legit Chance Of Winning
5. Shinsuke Nakamura
Wrestling fans do, on occasion, have a tendency to put two and two together and get five, but Nakamura dropping the NXT title last week is surely as good a sign as any that his main roster call up is imminent.
In his brief time with NXT, the King of Strong Style has already delivered matches that would befit the closing spot of WrestleMania, and any doubts over his ability to earn the approval of the audience without fully mastering the language have been laid to rest. A Rumble win on his debut? Stranger things have happened, and if WWE are serious about pushing this guy all the way, it would be the perfect way to introduce him to casual fans.
