WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting All 30 Entrants

23. Seth Rollins

Assuming he doesn't find a way to creep back into the WWE Universal Championship hunt, The Architect, as one of Raw's biggest stars, is a surefire entrant. His babyface run hasn't gone entirely smoothly, but he's one of only a handful of WWE wrestlers with genuine Franchise Player potential, and for as long as he's with the company, Rollins will be a major WWE player.

Rollins has one major issue going into the match: Triple H. The Game hasn't been seen since screwing his former protege out of the Universal Title a few months ago, but he's always lurking the shadows. There's little chance he'll let Seth win next year's Rumble, and he'll likely do everything within his power to stop him.

Odds of Winning: Favourable (unless Triple H is paying attention).
