I think it's pretty safe to assume that Sol Ruca will be in the women's royal rumble to do a monkey spot.

Ronda Rousey Was Apparently Pulled From Royal Rumble Show

Ronda Rousey made her triumphant return to WWE last year, winning the women's Royal Rumble match. However, since then, her return has seen very mixed reactions, with her failing to re-capture the magic of her first run and #FireRondaRousey even trending. And now, in surprising news, Fightful...

I'm so happy if this is true. Hopefully she's quit and never returns

 

[Storm Trooper]

When we get no Austin or Rock but Ryder instead

Best rumble ever then

Hopefully Billie still has her resumé handy

Billie should come back as the new leader of Maximum Male Models.

You've gotta be joking me. Did you go to Journalism to think of that idea?

Kevin Owens NEEDS to be in the Rumble. It’s absolutely critical to pay off a story that has been going on for over a year.

Elias needs to be eliminated by KO, go to the back, his brother Ezekiel comes out and Owens exits the match out of shame for pushing such a strange conspiracy that the brothers were the same person. How can they be the same person if they’re both in the Rumble, Kevin? It doesn’t make sense, Kevin!

Stolen from Reddit. Where's Vince when you need him

Who here thinks Cody enters at number 1?

 

[Dale]

Dunno if he will or not but I did want him to, followed by Seth.

 

[Storm Trooper]

I doubt he'll be #1. He hasn't wrestled since June not gonna have him out there for an hour in his first match back. Although if he's #1 they can have the Codyvator for his entrance. Doubt they'd do it for a mid-Rumble entrance.

 

[Wiseman]

My prediction on number 1 and 2. Drew and Sheamus.

I can't remember who but someone here said he should get a full entrance halfway through and I've been dying at the thought since

I have #22 in Blaze's Rumble fantasy pool. It would be cool if Cody got that number.

Imagine if they did that with Taker back in the day? He'd come out at like 17 and by the time he's in the ring #20 has just entered.

He entered at 30 in 2007 but he came out without his coat and hat and walked quickly lol.

Surely this year we get some NXT people in the Rumble matches so which 3 do you think we get / you want to get for each match?

I feel like Bron & Melo should be locks for it, wouldn't mind Waller as a 3rd either.

For the women I would go with Cora & Tiffany. I can see them putting Sol Ruca in there to fulfil the Kofi / Naomi elimination escape and maybe even Wendy Choo for the comedy.

 

[Wiseman]

NXT people, from the little exposure I have. Men: Bron, Waller and maybe Gacy. Women: Cora, Gigi and Jacy
