The Royal Rumble is quickly approaching, and this year’s 30 man Royal Rumble match is set to include big names such as Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and more. Without a doubt the 2017 Royal Rumble match will be the most star-studded Royal Rumble match in a few years, and all the big names involved have made it somewhat difficult for fans to settle on a solid pick for their predicted winner.
Last year’s Royal Rumble winner Triple H recently spoke to IGN to promote WWE’s new animated film, “Surf’s Up: WaveMania,” and the former WWE Champion says he thinks this year’s Royal Rumble will be unpredictable.
“This year’s Royal Rumble is one of the biggest, most star-studded Rumbles that I can recall. Just look at the people who have thrown their name into the Rumble so far. You’ve got Goldberg and Lesnar and the Undertaker. When you start to look at that level of talent and then also see the Bray Wyatts and the Randy Ortons and everyone else that’s going to be a part of it, it really is one of the biggest Rumbles I can think of. Sometimes there’s a year in the Rumble where you think “Okay, I can see this or that happening. This seems like where the Rumble might be headed.” But this year, it’s really tough to call. And I think that’s when the Rumble’s at its best, when you can’t really put your finger on what’s going to happen. I can see this year going a lot of different ways and I think it’s going to go in a way that nobody expects.”
The Royal Rumble is set to air live on the WWE Network on January 29th, and you can check out the current card below.
