WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting Odds for All 30 Potential Entrants

15. Bray Wyatt
Given Randy Orton’s situation, Bray Wyatt likely falls into the same boat. These two are likely primed for a match at WrestleMania 33 after building things up with a surprising alignment.
If Orton and Wyatt had not been tied together for WrestleMania season, we may have talked about the latter man a bit more to win the Royal Rumble match. He received somewhat of a resurgence heading into the WWE brand split, going with a new look and having Luke Harper rejoin him. If the Eater of Worlds had built up momentum during this time without the feud with the Viper, then he could have stood a better chance of getting a title match.
One day, the door will be open just a crack more for Wyatt to win the Royal Rumble match. He is still early in his WWE career and will have more opportunities at age 29. Maybe these begin later this year, especially if a win over Orton is in store in a potential match this spring.
