WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting the ‘Final Four’

WWE.com

4. Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose can, and should, win the whole thing, despite the fact that he is the current Intercontinental Champion. Whether he wins or not, Ambrose should find himself in the final four, as he appears poised to have a huge 2017, after being the company workhorse in 2016.

The argument for Ambrose increases when you consider that he’s an established babyface character, who has already accomplished a lot in his career, but has yet to win the Rumble. He’s a great character that the fans love, and if/when they decide to turn him heel, his character could easily jump right to being the top heel in the company.

He also holds an important role in this final four, because he would easily be the most established member of the main roster, as far as main roster experience goes. The other guys all have much less time on the main roster, but Ambrose is a guy that all the fans know and have an opinion on and that could keep more casual fans invested in the final minutes.

I’m going to stick with Ambrose as my pick to win the whole thing, but even if he doesn’t, it could make him look really strong.
