WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting Odds for All 30 Potential Entrants
Royal Rumble, WWE.com
Who do we think stands the greatest chance of winning the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble match?
On Sunday, January 29, the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view will be back. This is the show that plants the seeds for WrestleMania, which is set for April 2 in Orlando, FL. Most notably, this is the event that sees someone receive a guaranteed title match for the Show of Shows via the over-the-top-rope bout, better known as the Royal Rumble.
30 Superstars will be part of the Royal Rumble match and look for an opportunity to receive a World title match at WrestleMania. 2016 saw this take a different spin, though, with Roman Reigns defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He would end up losing it to the eventual winner, Triple H.
One year later, we are back to the traditional Royal Rumble and the field is quickly developing. It is not quite set yet, but we dove into the potential field of Superstars and looked at their chances of winning the whole thing in just a few weeks.

30. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas winning the Royal Rumble? Yeah, right. There is a better chance of WWE mending fences with CM Punk before this happens.
Dallas has taken on a more serious version of his persona in recent months. This includes making stern faces as he comes to the ring instead of doing the silly victory laps, which got him a few pops back in 2014.
If the former NXT Champion had been treated somewhat seriously, maybe he would make it toward the upper 20’s. There’s just no chance of him staying around for more than maybe 1-2 minutes in this match.
