John Cena winning And 5 capacity Disappointments

WWE Royal Rumble can be all about John Cena, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and other hooked up superstars who have been there, executed that.

And that would be a huge mistake.

In a recent interview with NOLA.Com (h/t WrestlingInc), Vince McMahon said, "i like to assist create new stars," and as the first official forestall on the street to WrestleMania 33, the Royal Rumble is an appropriate opportunity for him to do just that. But so as for WWE to perform its intention of setting up fresh essential eventers, the innovative team have to avoid the temptation to push superstars from the beyond on the cost of the enterprise's stars of the future.

WWE could make the Royal Rumble all approximately the subsequent technology of talent, or it could make the error of prioritizing component-time expertise at a time while full-timers should shine.

Right here are five potential disappointments we ought to get at the Royal Rumble if WWE comes to a decision to awareness on stars who already entrenched at the top of the cardboard.

Goldberg And/Or Brock Lesnar Dominating

In simply each Royal Rumble, someone is booked to be the maximum dominant movie star within the fit, commonly via getting the most eliminations.

Closing yr, Roman Reigns changed into tied with Brock Lesnar for the maximum eliminations. The two years earlier than that, Reigns also removed greater superstars than any other competitor. Luckily, (we suppose) Reigns won't be in the 30-guy Royal Rumble healthy in any respect this yr.

So, right here's to hoping that WWE resists the temptation to have Brock Lesnar and/or Goldberg be what Reigns has been the closing 3 years, and that's the maximum dominant celebrity within the Royal Rumble. We get it. Goldberg and Lesnar are nearly unstoppable superstars that WWE books way higher than most of its full-timers. That doesn't suggest they need to have a crazy amount of eliminations, although.

Permitting them to toss each other out of the suit is enough. No want to have them bury the complete roster inside the process.

The Undertaker Wins The Royal Rumble

The Undertaker will be collaborating in his first Royal Rumble healthy since 2009, so certainly, he is one of the odds-on favorites to win the in shape and go on to most important occasion WrestleMania 33.

It would not wonder every person if that occurred, but that doesn't mean it ought to. WWE is, once more, depending closely on element-time veterans to hold WrestleMania, as evidenced with the aid of the expected important roles for Lesnar, Goldberg, Triple and The Undertaker himself. Sooner or later, though, 'Mania has to stop being approximately names from the past and begin being approximately guys who will convey the future.

That every one starts on the Royal Rumble, where WWE shouldn't do what it's achieved each of the ultimate four years and book the most predictable final results possible for the 30-man Rumble fit, where installed stars like Batista, Triple H and John Cena ended up being positive.

This is the right year for a new name, a person like Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman or even Finn Balor, to win the Royal Rumble, which is some thing that simply won't show up if WWE goes the predictable path and has Undertaker win instead.
