With the Royal Rumble less than a week away, we look at three superstars who are considered sleepers who could potentially leave the match victorious earning a trip to WrestleMania.
The Royal Rumble match is always one of the biggest events of the year. With its unpredictability and its reward being so high the match is one of the most important of the year. The winner of the Royal Rumble earns himself a main event championship match at WrestleMania.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the big event, and to celebrate WWE is stacking the match as much as it can. With stars like Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker in the match the competition is extremely stiff.
The match also will feature some of the top stars on the RAW brand with the likes of Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho, and Braun Strowman all in the match as well. With all of this going on the major belief that it will be a RAW star to win the Rumble.
Smackdown, on the other hand, does have talent that will be in the Rumble but they have not been viewed as potential winners. With RAW so stacked in the match, most fans believe that the Red brand star will win the match.
However, if you look at past Royal Rumbles in the brand extension era Smackdown has had more stars on their show win the event than RAW. So, it could be a Smackdown Live star that wins the event this year.
With this in mind, we look at three superstars from the Blue Brand who shock the world and win the 2017 Royal Rumble match.
