Nakamura for Raw or Cena for Smackdown. As an outside bet, Zayn or Balor.

Balor, if he's healthy. But I'm not holding my breath that he will be.

Jeeze that's four months from now. Who knows who will be hurt, fired, or whatever. Ask this question again when it's about time for that PPV to happen.
Screw it. David Lee Roth wins.

I see only two realistic possibilities as of right now (but knowing WWE they always throw together random WrestleMania matches last minute with zero logic so who knows)
Finn Balor - IF he is healthy in time. His stock took some damage after getting injured right after debuting so when you bring him back he, once again, needs to be a BIG DEAL to the audience so they can get reinvested in him and winning the Rumble would do just that. The story would have written itself if he was fighting a heel Rollins, but I don't think that is happening now. A face vs. face feud over one face injuring the other doesn't really work. Maybe Finn fights Owens? I'd LOVE Finn to come back and take the title from a heel Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Maybe Balor comes back heel? Who knows? Balor Club could still be a thing if Gallows and Anderson are even still with the company by then given how they have been slaughtered since day one.
John Cena - If Cena is winding down, you need to have him make all sorts of history on the way out. How do you do that? By having him win his THIRD Royal Rumble, finally BEATING AJ Styles AT WRESTLEMANIA and tying Ric Flair's 16 time World Champion record. In other words WrestleMania 33 could become the John Cena Show in 2017.
Other realistic choice would be Seth Rollins and that's about it. Randy Orton doesn't have that much momentum, but he could possibly win and challenge AJ, but I don't see a Randy Orton WWE title WrestleMania win, not in modern day WWE.
I fully believe Styles will be champion so it won't be him. I don't see any NXT guy winning the Rumble. Kevin Owens is NOT winning the Rumble, take that to the bank. Dean isn't winning.

Either Finn, Seth or Cena. Or maybe, just maybe they pull the trigger on Wyatt this year. Eventhough he is pretty young and still can win it another year after that.

Guessing Balor if he's cleared to return by then, or Seth Rollins.

If he doesn't actually win the title prior to Rumble, I think this could definitely be Rollins running down the title as a babyface.
They could also certainly use this as a way to get Cena and AJ setup for the title at Mania. I hate to see another Rumble win used on Cena, but it makes sense to have AJ beat him again soon and then tell him he's out of tries. At which point, Cena uses the Rumble as a vehicle to get "one. more. match."
The Balor situation is all about timing. I personally think WWE already has someone penciled into that spot. With the uncertainty of when Balor will actually return, I don't think it'll be him.

With the champions the way they are now (And of course it can and probably will change before the Rumble) I would want Finn Balor to return and win it as a surprise entrant. Then, the next night on RAW, when it seems like he should go after Kevin Owens (or even if Rollins is champion at the time), he instead does the swerve and chooses to face AJ Styles. AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor in the main event of Wrestlemania is their biggest money maker right now... Based upon who is on the main roster at least since Nakamura is running NXT.

Seth freakin' Rollins!!!!!!! He is the man after all. He's who I think will win, and he is who I want to win.
I agree though that Balor, Reigns, Styles, and Cena are all very possible. I would love to see AJ Styles win just as much as Rollins, but i'm goin' with Rollins.

Either a face Rollins or a heel Reigns. Cena should be paired off with Taker around then, and if WWE is smart they will hold Finn out until the night after Mania so he can return as either a face or a heel to take on the current champion.
My no way in hell pick is a returning CM Punk so he can crap all over the cast of champions on WWE TV.
My secret hope would be Rusev or Bray to mix up the main event scene with some people I like.
