As, both the contenders are huge favorites and great faces, to dethrone Roman Reigns. However, Rhodes’ Rumble victory earned him a shot against the ”Head of the Table’ and as such he is better placed to defeat him. But Sami Zayn’s popularity presents an interesting situation for the company.

However, Mark Callaway also felt that they need to choose someone loyal to the company, to end Reigns’ streak, as the one who pins him will stand to become the biggest babyface in the company.
