WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting the Entrant Order

6. The Miz
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion will be desperate to make an impact in the match, especially after failing to win back the title from Dean Ambrose this past Tuesday on SmackDown Live. A former World Champion who strives to be the most important man on every show he stars, The Miz can be an important part of the match.
7. Dolph Ziggler
Only really in the match to further a feud with Jerry “The King” Lawler, who will be on commentary for the match. A couple of weeks ago Ziggler attacked Lawler who was interviewing him in the ring, expect Lawler to get some revenge by making his way to ringside and causing Ziggler to get eliminated, potentially leading to some kind of match at WrestleMania.
8. Dean Ambrose
The Intercontinental Champion, and former WWE Champion, who will be as desperate as anyone to get his hands on that ‘Mania title match. Being a champion already, don’t expect to see Ambrose go too deep in the Rumble match.
9. Xavier Woods
The New Day man should have some interaction with Sheamus and Cesaro, as they were the men who took the Tag Team titles away from the New Day a while back. He could be a man who becomes a ring filler to allow one of the monsters to rack up some eliminations later in the match.
10. Tye Dillinger
This is the one entry that has to happen. The Perfect 10 has become a cult-like figure on NXT, having been a part of WWE developmental for what feels like forever. Dillinger has a match with Eric Young at TakeOver: San Antonio the night before, that should be his goodbye to NXT, and the Rumble match should be his hello to the main roster.
