4. The Undertaker
The Undertaker is another big name in this year’s Rumble. Contrary to what he would normally do during Wrestlemania season, the phenom would go on to enter himself in the rumble this year. As such, the dead man is a heavy favorite to win the rumble this year. That would make sense especially since he is nearing his eventual retirement.
As far as the Undertaker goes, there are only a few options for the Phenom to make an entrance. Either he would have to go on at No. 1. Considering his age and condition, expecting him to outlast the entire field would be a huge ask. On the contrary, this would allow the WWE universe to witness his chilling entrance. However, that would create further problems down the line. This would be especially true when one would consider Lesnar vs Goldberg as one of the subplots this year.

Hence, it would make the most sense for the dead man to be the final entrant at this year’s Royal Rumble. Anticipation is one of the factors that would build excitement. When 29 superstars have made their way, fans know who is coming in at No. 30. As the countdown reaches 0, the lights could go down and the eerie gong could shake the WWE universe. Superstars on the ring could stop fighting for a moment and witness the dark side that has come to visit them at the rumble. From there on, it would be fairly easy for the dead man to pick up the pieces and win the match.
