Yes exactly Balor has to be an option and him suddenly aligning himself with Gallows and Anderson was/is no accident. Not to mention Balor and AJ both are connected to Gallows & Anderson. It only makes sense to have Balor win the Rumble and switch brands going over to Smackdown Live to face AJ.

Balor/AJ would be the perfect fan service match since no one really wants to see Brock/Roman. A switch to SD would be great for Finn too. With the likes of Reigns/Strowman/Rollins/Lesnar on Raw, he was always the low man on the totem pole. So I’ll be pulling for Balor to win.
Anyone think there will be any surprises? At this point, who’s even left to make a surprise return? Only one is CM Punk and we know that’s not happening. There wasn’t any last year because they announced guys like Taker and Goldberg.

If not Balor then a really out there pick to win the Royal Rumble Match at least for me would be either Bray Wyatt or Seth Rollins who is one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions.

My pick for the Women at least for me would be Asuka. Imagine if Asuka were to start out at #1 and she lasted the whole way lasting for almost an hour or even the full hour as #1. She then goes on to eliminate 29 other women as the first woman in and being the last woman standing pulling an HBK or a Benoit. Wouldn't that be something?

Asuka isn’t winning. It’s just too predictable. If they do it, fans will begin to sour on her because they’ll know that every time she wrestles. She’s gonna win. Idk how people haven’t caught on by now that it’s tiresome and takes away from the matches.

The Rumble has been the anti-fan show for years now. I'm not expecting that to change. What would piss the fans off the most? Roman Reigns and Stephanie McMahon.
I either get to be right or very surprised/potentially happy, so, that's fun.

Even if Asuka doesn't win, they can still say she's never been pinned or submitted, so when that finally happens it will still be a big deal. I have nothing against her, but this year for both Rumbles, I want someone who you wouldn't expect to win both, too many years the Rumble recently, with last year being the exception, the winner was so obvious before the match started.
For the men, I'd like to see Nakamura win, but I don't know if they'll pull the trigger on that. Balor is possible, but if he apparently "wasn't over enough to face Lesnar at the Rumble" why would Vince think he'd be over enough to win the match. Philly is very anti both Reigns and Cena so either of them winning won't go over very well. Again, I'm going with Nakamura, it would do more for him than most and Styles/Nakamura would be the show stealer at WrestleMania.
As far as the women, I'd like to see Becky win, she is still one of the most over women on the roster and deserves another run with the title. I still think this is the platform for Rhonda Rousey to debut and win. I'm not buying it that she won't be available. While it would discredit the women, it would be a PR move to get people talking and Vince loves stuff like that.

I'd love to see Roman enter #1, break his own elimination record, break Mysterious time record, and lastly eliminate Nakamura to win, just to absorb everyone's tears

What did Roman ever do to you?

I know it’s unlikely, but damn I would love for Russev, Ziggler, Miz, or even Finn to win the rumble.

I hope this is a great show to top off an awesome weekend of wrestling. I can’t wait for the triple threat and the Roode match.
