WWE Royal Rumble 2020: Rating Each Entrant's Chances Of Winning

16. Buddy Murphy

Roman Reigns Otis

Aligning himself with Seth Rollins elevates Buddy's chances from "none" to "very slim." He almost certainly isn't winning on Sunday night, but he's now placed in a very important role alongside Raw's top full-time heel. He should, at the very least, get a couple of cool spots in.

Murphy's affiliation with Rollins and AOP has paid immediate dividends in the form of the Raw Tag Team Championships. He has never been better positioned, even when he was having those SmackDown bangers with Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, and it'll be interesting and exciting to see how far he can take this.

Chances: Very slim.
