The Royal Rumble event will comprise of two Royal Rumble matches; one for the men and the other for the women.

While WWE has increased the number of women competing in the company since the past decade, and has a lot of talent who can compete in the 30-woman match, the men’s roster is overflowing with deserving superstars who should get a chance in the 30-man match.

WWE usually makes an effort to include some stars of the past and some surprising and interesting entrants into the match to make it more enjoyable and unpredictable.

Other times we have seen superstars debut in Royal Rumble matches and make a great impact, which gives them an instant push for what lies ahead.

Therefore, it is essential that WWE finds a perfect mix of superstars who compete in the 30-man match which can only be won by one superstar in the end.

Keeping that in mind, we have come up with a list of 4 men who should not be made a part of the Royal Rumble match this year. Take a look at the superstars below and share which superstar you don’t want to see compete at the Rumble in the comments section below.


#4 Lio Rush

Lio Rush is currently competing on the 205 Live brand, and working as the manager and mouthpiece of Bobby Lashley to great effect.

Lio Rush is an energetic, high flying, and impressive wrestler who deserves all the success WWE can afford him on the cruiserweight division. However, he shouldn’t be made a part of the men’s Royal Rumble match.

Since he is managing Bobby Lashley, it will be very predictable to see him team up with Lashley to stay in the match and not get eliminated. This could hamper Lashley’s chances and could lead to his elimination in a bad way.

The only reason WWE will think of adding Rush to the match will be to have him do some jumping around and try to avoid getting eliminated in unique ways. Kofi Kingston has already been doing that task for years now, and it is best that’s left to him for another year.

Therefore, it is better if Lio Rush is kept away from the Royal Rumble match, and someone from NXT is given a spot instead.
