WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants

5. Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman will wrestle for the Universal Championship earlier in the evening, but of all the night's World Title challengers, he is the most likely to make an appearance in the Rumble.

'The Monster Among Men' is Raw's hottest act. Nobody draws as strong a crowd reaction, and with Brock Lesnar a dead cert to retain the big red belt, WWE have no reason not to throw their most eye-catching star into the year's biggest spectacle.

His rampage was the best thing about the 2017 Rumble, and it'd be a shame if we were deprived of seeing a similar killing spree on January 28th. Victory is unlikely with Reigns vs. Lesnar on the horizon, but the audience would lap it up, and we can only hope the company renege on their 'Mania plans.
