Countdown to WWE Royal Rumble 2016: What if Bray Wyatt Wins?


We’re counting down to the Royal Rumble: a variation of the traditional Battle Royal match with a total of 30 competitors. Two WWE Superstars start in the ring, every 90 seconds thereafter another Superstar enters. A Superstar is eliminated when they’re thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. Traditionally, the last remaining Superstar is guaranteed a championship opportunity at WrestleMania versus the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion. On Jan. 24th the Champion is required to defend his title in the Royal Rumble match; the first time its winner claims gold since Rumble ’92. | By Mr. Joe Walker

WWE Superstar: Bray Wyatt
Height: 6' 3”
Weight: 285 lbs.

Every competitor in this year’s Royal Rumble match, especially WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, should have serious concerns regarding Bray Wyatt’s entry. It’s safe to say he carries low regards for everyone on the roster, especially Reigns. Wyatt’s said himself he’d stop at nothing to prevent The Big Dog from succeeding. With his Wyatt Family flock joining in in the fray, Roman and everyone else could be in serious trouble, the kind that leads to The Eater of Worlds leaving with the title.
