The Wrestling Rumors Staff Gives Their 2016 “Royal Rumble” Picks!

The 2016 “Royal Rumble” Match

The “Royal Rumble” match is always one of the greatest matches of the year. However, what makes this match extra special is that for the first time in history, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be awarded to this year’s winner.

The odds are stacked against the champion, Roman Reigns, as he will be the first person to enter the match, and will have to go through 29 other superstars to retain his championship. This, along with the fact that The Authority always has a ‘Plan B’, and this should make for one interesting and unexpected contest.

While none of us think that Reigns is retaining his title, most feel that a ‘surprise’ entrant will win this one…

Liam Gabriel: Kevin Owens after Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns eliminate each other
Drew Goldfinger: Triple H after he enters at #30
Matt McCool: Triple H
Adam Daley: Triple H
Will McCormick: Bray Wyatt
Derek Stoughton: Kevin Owens (because he’s been saying it since May of 2015)
