Predicting the Royal Rumble entrants 1-20
The Royal Rumble is personally my favorite pay per view on the calendar, but it is an exciting time for everyone in the WWE Universe as this night is filled with twists, turns, and surprises. One of the twists was announced last month when Stephanie McMahon revealed that the women will get a Rumble match for the first time.
This year the Royal Rumble takes place on January 28th from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly is the perfect town to hold the Rumble because they will be a lively crowd throughout the entire evening.
This article is going to attempt to predict the impossible. The 30 WWE Superstars who will fill the men's Royal Rumble Match. We would need a world-renowned mathematician to figure out the odds of getting every one of these rights, and I may not get a single one correct, but it's always fun to try to predict.
This article is going to take a look at the first 20 entrants into the 2018 Royal Rumble match, with the following article breaking down numbers 21-30. Continue below to see who the first entrant in the 2018 Royal Rumble Match will be...
#1 Kevin Owens
The feud between Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens has existed for months, and the Royal Rumble is another way for Shane to throw his weight around and screw KO at the same time by putting him in at #1.
I fully expect AJ Styles to retain the WWE Championship when he faces Owens and Sami Zayn in a handicap match earlier in the evening. Putting Owens in at #1 just punishes him some more, a move that Daniel Bryan will probably not like.
