WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Potential Face-Offs We Could Witness

WWE.com

5. Battle of the Giants

Both Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin would be in the Royal Rumble. There would be no reason to believe Big Cass wouldn’t join the party. This is something new in the WWE. The giant face-offs until this year used to be between Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry. However, this year, WWE might not even need them in the match.

Strowman has the most momentum out of all three. He is constantly featured in the main event and has been giving a great push following the draft. Corbin is a certain future WWE champion on SmackDown. Big Cass has proved before that he can hang with the best with ease. At least two among these three big men could cross paths during this year’s Royal Rumble.

We have already seen Strowman and Cass having a face-off. However, Strowman Vs Baron Corbin is something the WWE universe has never seen. Parallels could be drawn between both of them. Both are big men that benefited from the draft immensely. Both could be future world champions. Both have been booked strongly so far. When these behemoths stand across each other, expect the crowd to go nuts.

Creative has done a great job of building its next generation of monsters. However, the problem would be making all of them look good. Big men would usually eliminate a few competitors in dominating fashion. With so many great stars in the rumble this year, the options would be limited. That would be a big challenge for creative.
