WWE Royal Rumble 2019 - 10 Most Likely Winners
5. Braun Strowman
You might be quick to point out that Braun Strowman isn't an option to win the Rumble because he hasn't won one of the January matches. However, given that this past April, he won the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, I'd say that makes him the greatest shoe-in.
Okay, maybe not, but still, given Strowman's ever-protected status as a main-eventer, it's safe to say that he'll be a speculated pick to win these kinds of matches for years to come. WWE love themselves their monster characters, especially the Monster Among Men these days.
Of course, Strowman winning the Royal Rumble might ruffle feathers. Not because people dislike him, far from that. It would just come off as predictable, and prolong this never-ending feud with Roman Reigns. Given how there are talent on RAW like Finn Bálor or Kevin Owens that have been kept away from the main event scene in favor of guys like Strowman, Reigns, and Lesnar, having Braun win the Rumble would just be another reminder to fans that there is a glass ceiling that guys like Bálor can't coup de grâce through.
Still, if Braun can win a 50-man Royal Rumble match, then he's got a chance in January.
