4 WWE NXT Superstars who should show up for the 2019 Royal Rumble
In January, WrestleMania season kicks off with the annual Royal Rumble event, taking place in Phoenix on January 27. The Royal Rumble is the time of year where stars are made, and headliners are forged, as thirty men all compete for the chance to be immortalised in the main event of WWE WrestleMania.
While this is all fine and good, I think I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say that the most exciting part about the Royal Rumble event are the shock entrants.
Whether it be superstars returning from injury, wrestlers of the past coming back for one last go-round, or (my personal favorite) debuting wrestlers either from outside the company or from NXT.
That mixed feeling of uncertainty and excitement is a rush the likes of which few other pay-per-views can compare. Earlier this year, we got to see the likes of Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Adam Cole make their way to the ring to great surprise and excitement. Who should be the ones to shock the masses this time around?
#4 Lars Sullivan
We've all seen the trailers on WWE television over the last week or so - The Freak is coming. Lars Sullivan has been an absolute monster down in NXT, decimating nearly everyone in his path.
Whether it be jobbers he just so happened to be teaming with, or established stars like Roderick Strong or Ricochet, he has left utter annihilation and ruin in his wake. He earned himself an NXT title shot at TakeOver: Chicago II, and although he lost, he showed some promise as a main attraction.
Now with warnings of his impending arrival, there are few bigger stages to make your name known amongst the WWE Universe aside crashing the Royal Rumble and leaving your mark for everyone to see.
