Who Do You Think Will Win The Royal Rumble Next Year?

I remember last year, most people were predicting Roman Reigns would win this year's Royal Rumble, and they turned out to be right. I haven't seen many predictions for who will or might win the RR next year though. Obviously it's hard to tell so far away, but I thought just for fun, we might as well have a guess at it.

So, who do you predict will win?

My guess right now is John Cena, winning his third RR and tying "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's record.

You all seem to be forgetting the valiant efforts of two very important superstars at this years rumble. Future Hall of Famers, both renowned in their own right, these two guys did so well, I'm very surprised nobody has yet mentioned EITHER of their names!

Who am I talking about? Kane and Big Show obviously! HAVE YOU FORGOT THEY MADE IT TO THE LAST THREE THIS YEAR?!? Yes that's right, Kane or Big Show to win the 2016 Royal Rumble...

heh heh heh.

My three favorites would be Ambrose, Wyatt, or Ziggler. They had to cool off Ambrose this year to continue Roman's coronation but the guy connects with the audience. Backstage is high on Bray and he's still relatively young with an unexplored character. Many of us have been clamoring for Dolph and he's got the crowd support but he'll be 35 next year. If they ever plan on capitalizing on that momentum, a great underdog win in the Rumble would do a lot.

It all depends on how Roman's inevitable title reign goes and how soon they pull the trigger on a title change.

It's really hard to predict these things so far in advance.

Shield triple threat for the IC title which Ambrose has held for a year.

Daniel Bryan vs royal rumble winning wyatt for the world title.

Those would be the two 'non legend' main matches i'd have for next year.

Shield 3way sells itself and for an ic title which ambrose has held for a year would cement the 'IC title is vauable' idea i have.

It should be Bryan and numbers are in his favor, it's very likely they felt like this year was a low stakes year and thought they could get away with trying to get guys over him so they don't have to use him next year, but that isn't working out so well.

But next year is their big Mania, so they will use all the part timers they can and try to put together all the dream matches they think they have, and they will be all the wrong matches for the fans anyway.

They're going to try and get Rock, Taker, and maybe even Austin to wrestle. None of those guys need a rumble win to be in a top match.

In WWE's eyes their biggest guys they know will be there are Cena, HHH, and Orton. So there is your 3 top matches as shitty as they are.

So the winner will probably be Orton.

Rollins! Ambrose will be Mr. Money in the Bank and will have cashed in and in the middle of a resulting fued with Reigns, leading to a triple threat match for the championship!
This match won't main event though as the card will have a number of other big matches, The Rock vs Triple H (or Brock if he re-signs) and Undertaker vs Sting.

Seth Rollins. But he will get boo'd because those crazy ass Bryan marks will want him to main event Mania. Again and again and again and again.........

They need to announce up front that Bryan is going to win next year's Rumble, and the next four or five after that.

Just get it out of the way. Have everyone enter and then exit willingly over the top rope to eliminate themselves while Bryan is leading Yes! chants in the middle of the ring.

I honestly think a face Rollins could win the Rumble next year.

This man has the potential to be INSANELY over as a face and can easily put on a fantastic performance starting as the number 1 entrant going all the way to the end.
