1. Roman Reigns

If Roman Reigns does when the Royal Rumble, the reaction's going to be extremely interesting.

2015 was a grand catastrophe. Much has changed since then, however, and while the first few months of Reigns' post-leukaemia return were handled unevenly, recent times have seen him slot in nicely as an upper-midcard babyface. That he's working with a heat magnet in Baron Corbin helps greatly. Still, Reigns isn't getting jeered anymore... but he isn't exactly being met with thunderous ovations either.

Perhaps 2020 is the year 'The Big Dog' finally becomes the era-defining babyface Vince McMahon has always wanted him to be. Or perhaps not.

Chances: The favourite.
