8. A Superstar Wins the “Royal Rumble” Match in His Rumble Debut
Chance This Will Happen: 51%
If you have been following WrestlingRumors.net for any amount of time, you know how I feel about Kevin Owens. As soon as he defeated John Cena at “Elimination Chamber” last year, I tweeted out that KO will be the winner of the 2016 “Royal Rumble” match.
Since then, Owens has had a steady series of fantastic matches, and continues to gain popularity with the WWE Universe. With top stars like John Cena, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton out of action recently, it has given the younger guys an opportunity to step up and prove that they are ready to be main event players. And in my opinion, Owens has done just that.
WrestleMania season is right around the corner, and WWE has booked themselves into a spot where it is not clear by any stretch of the imagination who could be in the main event. It would be the perfect year for a new guy to step up and grab the brass ring, solidifying himself as a top superstar for many years to come.
Fight, Owens, Fight.
