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

25. Sheamus
Sheamus winning the Royal Rumble match in 2012 seems like an eternity ago. He did not end up headlining WrestleMania 28, but did beat Daniel Bryan in the blink of an eye for the World Heavyweight Championship. 2015 even saw the Celtic Warrior return to the title scene by cashing in Money in the Bank and winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, only to lose the belt three weeks later to Roman Reigns.
Gold is wrapped around Sheamus’ waste again, though, with the Raw Tag Team Championship. He is likely set to head into the Royal Rumble with the belt pending a surprising passing of the title in the coming weeks.
It would not be surprising to see the former League of Nations (remember when that used to be a thing?) member get a spot in the over-the-top-rope match at the end of the month. His chances of winning have eroded completely with his use over the past few years to the point where unless he gets another surprising push into the main event scene, this will never happen.
