WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting Odds for All 30 Potential Entrants

17. Big E
As noted, New Day joining the WWE Royal Rumble match spells potential disaster for the trio. They have been together since 2014, but if one of Big E, Kofi Kingston, or Xavier Woods end up having championship gold on their minds, then they could look to eliminate one another later this month.
Big E has been perceived to be the member of New Day with the most potential. He has the size and look that WWE wants and broke out into one of the most charismatic Superstars over the past few years. It is a far cry from his days as Intercontinental Champion in 2013, where he did not seem to have much of a personality.
If WWE decides to begin breaking up the trio in the Royal Rumble match, could Big E be the one to create the tension with Woods and Kingston? He may not be the one to do so, but either way, he should get a look as a force to be reckoned with. This will not result in a victory, as he has little to no chance of winning, but this could be a great starting point for him.
