Thank god

 

[Postman Dave]

i wouldn't have minded either way. the only thing that leans me towards 30 men is the lack of scrubs needlessly taking up space.

 

[Fuji Vice]

I'm glad its going back to 30 as well. I thought it felt a little cluttered last year. Any guesses on the surprise entrants this year?

You realize that pretty much any legend could come out of retirement

 

[Kushikimi]

I don't know but my guess could go to either Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins... since both have been having matches on house shows and dark matches on both Raw and SD!... beside having both Dusty Rhodes and JR praise their work. So either of them could make an appearance on the Rumble... Ryback could be there also and Brodus Clay could make his long overdue debut lol

 

[Fuji Vice]

I don't think Brodus is even on the roster anymore. : Seriously though, it could be a good place to debut him as a dominant big man who gets a few quick eliminations. Would love to see Ambrose in their, his style is suited to the brawling that takes place during the match.

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah I forgot about Brodus. It would be a good way to debut him. He could even start a feud with someone. You know the usual Brodus eliminates someone. That person gets pissed. Then they feud

Makes sense to me. At this point I've kind of forgotten about Brodus so it will be nice to see him debut...if that ever happens. :

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah it makes sense. Brodus is so pissed at having his debut pushed off that when he enters the royal rumble, he will destroy everybody. And like I said before it'd be a good way to start his first feud

 

[Postman Dave]

WWE title match added, Ziggler once again finds himself in the rumble testing spot.

I could see Foley making a surprise appearance in the Rumble this year.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

there is only one surprise entry I wanna see

Spoiler

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

If Terry Taylor came out I could only hope for a Red Rooster chant and a number one trend on Twitter
