1) Cain Velasquez
Someone who is a strong candidate to win the men’s Royal Rumble match this year is Cain Velasquez. The rumor mill suggests that Cain will be taking part in the Rumble PPV in some form. With Brock Lesnar entering the Rumble match, it would set up a return from Cain. Cain could eliminate Brock and potentially go on to win the Rumble match. This would set up Brock vs Cain for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania 36.
Brock and Cain had a bad match at WWE Crown Jewel. While saying that, they both now have a win against one another. In theory, that would set up a third and final match between them. I could definitely see WWE doing that at Wrestlemania 36.
I would rather not see another match between Brock and Cain. It would be hard to get excited about their match at Wrestlemania, considering what happened at Crown Jewel a few months ago. Plus, the crowd would definitely turn on Cain if he were to win the Rumble. WWE already tossed away Kofi Kingston’s Title reign for the Brock vs Cain feud. Cain coming in as a part-timer and winning the Rumble wouldn’t do him any favors in terms of crowd support.
I would prefer it if Cain didn’t win the Rumble match. I still see a lot of potential in him but now doesn’t feel like the right time for him to win.
Are there any other Superstars who you think should NOT win the Royal Rumble match? Let me know in the comment section below.
