8 Shock WWE Stars Who Could Win The Royal Rumble

2. Edge

It was nearly nine years since Edge retried from professional wrestling when he returned at the Royal Rumble last year

The pop, the buzz from fans all around the world, and Edge’s pure excitement made this such a spectacular moment. The feud with Randy Orton started brilliantly, but the long ‘Mania match and ridiculously built Backlash match hindered the rivalry.

The ‘Rated R Superstar’ has now been gone for nearly seven months, so a third big rumble return similar to 2010 and 2020 could be in the plan.

As mentioned in the Orton entry, it appeared clear that Edge vs Orton III was being set up for ‘Mania. These rumors have drifted slightly with ‘The Viper’ only holding the title for a few weeks, and it being unclear how far along Edge is in recovery.

Nevertheless, if the planned third match is scrapped, Edge vs McIntyre or Roman Reigns is a possibility.

Both are dream matches, and Edge hasn’t hidden that he would love to face Reigns, therefore a win for the former World Champion is certainly a possibility.

1. Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins welcomed their first child in early December last year. Previous to that, we didn’t hear much from Lynch since she announced her pregnancy in early May.

Nevertheless, with Seth Rollins’ planned return on SmackDown suggesting he’s ready to come back, could ‘The Man’ be returning too?

With her recent Twitter bio saying “Time to go to work”, it appears she’s ready to regain what she never lost.

WWE is desperately in need for female stars with the only two currently being Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. The current Raw Women’s Champion, Asuka, has been massively underused, and Bianca Belair has just begun to become a star.

Lynch returning to win the Rumble would give her the reinvention that she’s been needing since teaming with Rollins.
