6. Goldberg
Goldberg is red-hot in the WWE at the moment. Coming off a quick upset squash match victory over Lesnar he looks unstoppable. Moreover, Goldberg would announce himself as the first entrant in this year’s royal rumble match. It should only be poetic justice that he should enter at No. 1 position.
Goldberg has one of the grandest entrances in professional wrestling. Combining that with the nostalgia factor would instantly kick in with casual and hardcore fans. Moreover, any other entry position would not have the flexibility of showcasing his awesome entrance. Fans would love to witness it right from the backstage itself. As such he needs to go in at No. 1. If some poor soul comes in at No. 2, the sight of Goldberg spearing and Jackhammering them straight out of the ring would be gold.

An irate Goldberg waiting for his next victim would be a sight for the ages. WWE even has some flexibility here. They could even have Lesnar come in at No. 2. The two of them could then brawl with each other and potentially eliminate each other. That would open up the field right from the beginning and set the tone for the rest of the match.
