WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Ranking 10 Most Likely Winners

It's more than a day late and way more than a dollar short, but Seth Rollins is finally a babyface. Finn Balor's injury created a gulf at the top of the Raw card, but Rollins was called upon to fill it, finally undergoing the turn he should have made upon his return from injury.

Now, "The Architect" is ready to embark on a successful run as a fan favorite. He's currently feuding with Universal Champion Kevin Owens, but he failed to beat "The Prizefighter" for the title at Clash of Champions. They'll probably fight again at Hell in a Cell, and if Rollins doesn't win, he'll have to move on to something else. A feud with a hot heel - one that Rollins should win - could give him momentum heading into the Rumble, and he could make a respectable winner of the match.

The only problem with that scenario, of course, is that Rollins is meant to wrestle Triple H at WrestleMania, and it's unlikely (please, please let it be unlikely) that HHH will capture the Universal Title before the show of shows. Still, a show of hands - how many people would that really surprise?
