WWE Wrestlers that Should've Won the 2017 Royal Rumble Instead of Randy Orton

Now in hind sight I was shocked to see orton win, and i'm okay with this, its just I prefer these 10 wrestlers before him.
The Top Ten
1 Chris Jericho Christopher Keith Irvine, better known by the ring name Chris Jericho, is a Canadian-American professional wrestler, musician, media personality, actor, author, and businessman, currently signed to AEW.

Invented the Money In The Bank ladder match and is yet to win it.

If he can't be given a chance to win the match he invented, then let the guy win a Royal Rumbles!

He entered at #2, and so should have won this match. I would of loved to see Jericho vs Owens, but alas wasted opportunity.

If you didn't vote for him.. YOU JUST MADE THE LIST

Yes! He should have...

2 Undertaker Mark William Calaway (born March 24, 1965), better known by his ring name The Undertaker, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where he has worked since 1990, making him the company's longest tenured in-ring performer .

Calaway is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time . ...read more.

Why Undertaker has only less title shots. His first Royal Rumble win came after 17 long years. He was the most loyal WWE worker and has constantly put over many wrestlers. He put over Khali, Brock, Cena etc yet he is been disrespected. WWE sucks and Vince Mcmahon is an idiot.

At that point in time I rooted for taker to eliminate reigns, and it didn't even happen this now sets up Reigns to face taker at WM ugh... kill me.

Undertaker deserved to win one more time.

Taker should have won.

3 Goldberg William Scott "Bill" Goldberg is an American actor, former professional football player, and semi-retired professional wrestler.

Didn't expect him to win really, but you could of at least got him close to the final four.

4 Dean Ambrose Jonathan "Jon" Good is an American professional wrestler and actor, signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Jon Moxley. He also makes appearances for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he won the IWGP United States Championship. He previously worked for WWE under the ring name Dean Ambrose, where he is a former WWE Champion, United States Champion, Intercontinental Champion and Raw Tag Team Champion.
5 Braun Strowman Adam Scherr is an American professional wrestler and former strongman. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Braun Strowman. In WWE, he is a one-time Universal Champion, a one-time Intercontinental Champion, and a two-time Raw Tag Team Champion.

He eliminated 1/3 of the rumble that is impressive, even if most of those men were likely not gonna make it anyway.

6 Sami Zayn Rami Sebei is a Canadian professional wrestler of Syrian descent, currently signed to WWE under the ring name Sami Zayn, where he is a former NXT Champion. ...read more.

Definitely he deserved to become number 1 contender for wwe championship in a ladder match so he can defeat the wwe champ Bray Wyatt easily and become the one and only wwe world heavyweight or wwe champion

He deserved a huge title opportunity at wrestlemania to become the new wwe champ instead of Bray Wyatt who won the elimination chamber. How a match it would be.

He was #8 as announced a little earlier in the PPV, he lasted a long time in the match, even withstand Strowman's warpath. Maybe they should give him a good push now right?

He should have won it and take a title opportunity against Bray Wyatt and then Helluva kick him to be wwe champion

7 Big Cass William Morrissey is an American professional wrestler best known for his time in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Big Cass, a modification of his previous ring name Colin Cassady.
8 Roman Reigns Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoa'i (Roman Reigns) was born on May 25, 1985. He is an American professional wrestler and former professional Canadian football player. ...read more.

Reigns is a absolute beast he would of won the royal rumble if it wasn't for Randy rko'ing him he would have won that spear would be the key for the win and would become the royal rumble winner and face Bray wyatt for the wwe championship for the 4th time!

9 Baron Corbin Thomas Pestock is an American professional wrestler and former professional football player. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Happy Corbin. Pestock signed with WWE in 2012 and was assigned to their developmental brand NXT.

He had one big elimination, and he would end up making it near the end only to be eliminated by Undertaker.

10 Luke Harper Jon Huber was an American professional wrestler best known for his run in WWE as Luke Harper from 2012 - 2019. He passed away on December 26th, 2020 from Lung Disease while still under contract with AEW as Mr. Brodie Lee

He eliminated Apollo Crews so that's something. It's quite shocking that he even got to eliminate anyone to be honest.

The Contenders
11 Bray Wyatt Windham Lawrence Rotunda was an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE under the ring name Bray Wyatt. Rotunda is a third-generation professional wrestler, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, his father Mike Rotunda, and two of his uncles Barry and Kendall Windham.

You could of switched orton and Bray honestly, because orton already won one, but Bray still hasn't and needed that big win here, and it would of made it more unpredictable and actually pretty awesome to see the eater of worlds get the chance to face the champion.

12 Tye Dillinger

Lol because why not, after all he was #10 in the rumble so there you go. He was one of two entrants that were of a surprise, very disappointed in the lack of returns, and to expect the unexpected.

He should be 10 lol

13 Finn Balor Fergal Devitt is an Irish professional wrestler signed to WWE, where he performs on the Smackdown brand under the ring name Finn Bálor. He is a two-time NXT Champion and the first person to hold it more than once. He is also the first Universal Champion.

20 Randy Orton Randal Keith "Randy" Orton is an American professional wrestler and actor who is signed with WWE, where he is a member of the SmackDown brand. He is a 12-time world champion, having held the WWE World Championship eight times and the World Heavyweight Championship four times.

Who Put Randy On This List?!

21 The Miz Michael Gregory "Mike" Mizanin is an American professional wrestler, reality television star, and actor. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown Live brand under the ring name The Miz.

I may not like the Miz, but he lasted a long time in the match. I guess I would of been alright with him getting closer to the end.

22 Brock Lesnar Brock Edward Lesnar is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler, professional American football player, and mixed martial artist who is currently signed to WWE.

Like Goldberg I never expected Brock to win here other than just to build up his feud with Goldberg some more even if the match turns out horrible.
