5 NXT Stars Who Could Win The Royal Rumble

After NXT being an overwhelming success at Survivor Series just a couple of months ago, it has been suprisingly quiet in terms of NXT Superstars declaring themselves as entrants for this years Royal Rumble!  Without a doubt there will be a few significant appearances from the Black & Gold brand, however at BCW we have selected 5 NXT Superstars who we feel could actually win this years' Royal Rumble!

#5 Adam Cole......BayBay

BCW thoughts/notes:  If he actually makes a surprise appearance, realistically he will most likely make final 4 at best, however he is NXT Champion & if WWE want to keep NXT as strong as they were coming out of Survivor Series, there's no better shout than the current NXT Champ!

#4 Demon Finn Balor

BCW thoughts/notes: The Demon is undefeated at WWE Big 4 PPVs thus if involved he would be a huge favourite to win!  Also with the Demon winning the Royal Rumble, WWE could set up a dream/nightmare WrestleMania Main Event of Demon Vs The Fiend.

#3 Rhea Ripley

BCW thoughts/notes: She's been on fire since November and WWE could definitely continue her mega push with a Rumble victory if they wanted to, however sensible betting would be with Baszler or Rousey for the Womens Royal Rumble!

#2 Keith Lee

BCW thoughts/notes: It has been widely reported Vince McMahon thinks very highly of Keith Lee, however it would take a Yokozuna sized push for him to come out on top here, plus after recently being crowned NXT North American Champion, the time may not be right for the win the Rumble, however he's a great shout to eliminate Brock!

#1 Shayna Baszler

BCW thoughts/notes: Well she's our NXT favourite for the Women's Rumble, however it quite frankly depends on if Ronda Rousey is involved.  We feel if Ronda is involved, Rousey wins, if not, Shayna wins!!!
