With the sudden switch up of Balor taking Strowman's place as the #1 Contender to Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship it kind of throws things off for me.
On the one hand I thought that Drew McIntyre was a solid option because if Braun won the title Drew vs Braun seemed to make the most sense for the belt. However, is WWE now just postponing Strowman vs Lesnar for WrestleMania? It's hard to imagine Braun not winning the Rumble at this point since he's in it. Seth seems like the odds on favorite early on but idk, while I love Seth him being the guy to take the belt off Lesnar is rather lackluster to me. If Balor SOMEHOW beats Brock then shit, all bets are off on who wins the Rumble.
For now, I'm going to with Braun Strowman for the men.
In terms of the Women, Becky getting the title shot against Asuka throws shit off as there is no guarantee that she enters the Rumble. What SHOULD have happened was Becky either wins or there is somehow a tie between Ric Jr and Becky to further set up the triple threat against Ronda. However, because it's WWE and because Charlotte is Ric fucking Flair's daughter and every accomplishment or milestone gets handed to her she's basically a shoe in to just win the fucking thing. I'm just so damn sick of it. If she wasn't Ric's daughter she would just be another performer on the roster and nothing special what so ever. Instead, she's just gifted shit. Thank God for Becky otherwise the main event of WrestleMania may have been the most privileged main event of all time with Ric Jr vs Ronda.
So TLDR
Mens: Strowman
Womens: Ric Jr
