In 1988 there were 20 SuperStars. In 2011 there were 40 SuperStars. However, for the most part, the Royal Rumble match consisted of 30 SuperStars. In 1992, the Royal Rumble match was for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Belt, which was won by Ric Flair. In 2016, the Royal Rumble match will again be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Belt, but this time, the current WWE Champion, Roman Reigns will be defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Belt against 29 other SuperStars.
Technically, that’s 29 number one contenders for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title. In the past, in certain years, there would be qualifying matches to earn a spot in the Royal Rumble. This year, similar to other years, it seems like as long as you declare yourself into the match, you’re in the Royal Rumble. I don’t agree with this at all, especially because of the fact that the winner doesn’t only receive a Main Event spot at WrestleMania, but they also get THE Main Event spot at WrestleMania as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion (unless something happens at FastLane of course).
I think the 29 number one contenders should be the Elite. They should be the top of the top. They should be the best 29 SuperStars who have proven they could, they would, and they should be WWE World Heavyweight Champion. There shouldn’t be one SuperStar in the 2016 Royal Rumble match who “doesn’t have a chance” at becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion. In other words, there shouldn’t be any jobbers at all in this match this year. All of the other SuperStars in the WWE have 8 or so Pay Per Views to prove themselves worthy of being at the Big 4. The Big 4 should be reserved for the proven SuperStars.
My picks for Roman Reigns’ 29 challengers are all former World Champions.
1. Alberto Del Rio
2. Batista
3. Big Show
4. Booker T.
5. Brock Lesnar
6. CM Punk (It’s just one match, I’m sure the pop he would get would be worth the 5 minutes he spends in the ring)
7. Chris Jericho
8. Daniel Bryan
9. Dolph Ziggler
10. Hulk Hogan (Brother!!)
11. John Cena
12. Kane
13. Kevin Nash
14. Kurt Angle (as part of the Kurt Angle Farewell Tour, he makes a stop at the Royal Rumble)
15. Mark Henry
16. Mick Foley (Cactus Jack flannel, Dude Love t-shirt, Mankind mask)
17. The Miz
18. Randy Orton
19. Rey Mysterio (why not)
20. Ric Flair (have him come out in a suit and “not officially” be in the match, maybe eliminate one or two guys and be eliminated by Shawn Michaels)
21. The Rock
22. Seth Rollins
23. Shawn Michaels (have him come out in jeans and “not officially” be in the match, maybe eliminate one or two guys and be eliminated by the Undertaker)
24. Sheamus
25. Sting
26. Stone Cold Steve Austin
27. Triple H
28. The Undertaker
29. Mr. McMahon
Some SuperStars that I left off that could replace some of the SuperStars and Legends I listed are:
1. A. J. Styles
2. Bubba Ray Dudley
3. Jack Swagger
4. R-Truth
This is Roman Reigns’ coming out party. This is for HIS WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Belt. If he’s going to successfully defend his Championship Title, he should be defending it against the best of the best. If the WWE really wants Roman Reigns to be the next Face of the WWE, then the 29 other former World Champions should put him over, and what better way to do that than this (note, that wasn’t a question). With Roman Reigns starting this match at the number 1 spot, and probably winning the 2016 Royal Rumble match, I think this is the way to do it.
