The thing I've never understood about that logic is that the odds are all equally stacked against all four guys. Yes, the odds are stacked against Bobby Roode, but individually they're just as much stacked against James Storm, Bully Ray, and Jeff Hardy. There's no actual disadvantage.
Yes, on some level he does have the most to lose in the match, but does he really? The three challengers HAVE to win, or else risk falling down the contender ladder. Should Roode lose, he'll at least know that he's due another title shot very soon.
