3. It Could Be One of the Best Royal Rumble Returns Ever

The Royal Rumble is the place for surprises. In addition to determining the WrestleMania main event, the Rumble is one of the most anticipated PPVs of the year because of the surprises that characterize it year in and year out. Just last year, AJ Styles made his WWE debut by entering third and coming face-to-face with Roman Reigns; a sight no one ever expected to see. There will undoubtedly be some surprises in store this year, so why not have Finn Balor be the biggest of them all?

If Balor is healthy and he doesn’t enter the Royal Rumble, it would be a huge missed opportunity by WWE. Assuming they’re able to keep his return quiet leading up to the Rumble, the reaction he would get from the 60,000 people in the Alamodome would be thunderous. Balor is one of the most popular superstars in WWE right now. So you can pretty much guarantee everyone in that capacity crowd would be in their feet. And that’s just for his entrance.

If Balor actually won the Rumble, it would be one of the best returns of all time. Being on the shelf for months and then showing up and immediately securing a spot in the WrestleMania main event is quite a statement to make. There’s no question fans around the world would be behind a Finn Balor surprise Royal Rumble entrance and victory.
