10 Primary Dynamics in WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Match
By Adam O'Brien
Anticipation is at an all-time high for Sunday — but which ongoing storylines will dominate the flow of this year’s Royal Rumble match?
The countdown to the 30th annual Royal Rumble continues, and as each day passes, the hype increases with regards to who is going to earn a one-way ticket to Orlando.
With a stacked deck filled with WWE legends – The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg – and current stars alike, not to mention those rumored to appear, this is shaping up to be one of the most enthralling Royal Rumble matches in WWE history.
Not only that, but the amount of candidates to actually win the eponymous showdown is astounding. Between the aforementioned part-timers, Jericho, Miz, Strowman, Zayn – the list goes on – there are few options that don’t make sense.
As such, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to pick a winner. What we can do, however, is look at what to expect from the match itself. After all, with about an hour devoted to this match each year, sometimes more, there is a lot of time to fill.
Only so much of that can be put down to surprise entrants, and the rest means nothing if we don’t have much motivation to root for each star. Luckily, this has been one of the best-booked Rumbles in years, and almost all names already announced for the bout have received a solid amount of exposure heading into Sunday.
As a result, don’t be surprised if we see a lot of rivalries — either settled or cranked up a notch – on display once that bell rings and the clock starts ticking. Here is a list of just some of the different story dynamics you can expect to see in the Royal Rumble.
