Not everybody can win the WWE 2016 Royal Rumble. In fact, out of the 30 entrants, just about all of them will lose.

With the road to WrestleMania 32 taking so many detours due to injury, several top stars can now be ruled out of scoring an elusive Royal Rumble victory. Former winners Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and even Triple H all seem like viable candidates, but will any of them actually become a two-time winner?

There are so many unknowns. Which Triple H shows up to the Royal Rumble? Will it be The Authority, looking to distract Roman Reigns? Or will The Cerebral Assassin make a surprise entry for his first Rumble since 2010?

Top stars on this list have been ruled out simply due to the growing clarity of WrestleMania 32's main event and how their victory in the January classic would derail these plans.

Why Kevin Owens Won't Win the Royal Rumble

Kevin Owens is a darkhorse to win the Royal Rumble. Of the past 28 winners of Royal Rumble matches, nine WWE Superstars won the event in their Royal Rumble debuts.

Vince McMahon himself appointed Owens to face off against Roman Reigns during that weird "One vs. All" match on Raw. Owens is trending in the right direction. He could do it. But he won't do it.

If Owens were to win the Royal Rumble, he'd likely do so as a heavy favorite of The Authority. But that's simply too underwhelming of a storyline and potential main event for a record-breaking WrestleMania 32. Instead, Owens will likely have his Royal Rumble moment as the man who eliminates Brock Lesnar.

Such an elimination would get Owens more heat than even winning the event outright and could set up the most important feud of his young, yet aging, career.
