#16: Dolph Ziggler

Since he has been involved in a faction war alongside Robert Roode and King Corbin against Roman Reigns and The Usos, Dolph Ziggler‘s main objective in this match should be assisting King Corbin and Robert Roode in eliminating Roman Reigns. However, he should also keep a keen eye out for Otis, who was joyless about Ziggler stepping his Jordan’s into the fruit cake his mother made for his love, Mandy Rose. Nonetheless, the Show Off will steal the show somehow in the Men’s Royal Rumble. He is very adept at avoiding eliminations and that could come in handy here.

#17: Randy Orton

Randy Orton is an experienced two-time Royal Rumble Winner in the years of 2009 and 2017. He will enter the Royal Rumble outta nowhere with plenty of RKOs, like he always does. However, his most important RKO will be delivered against his main rival, AJ Styles. Just like Styles promised to deliver RKOs, Orton seems to have learned how to deliver the Styles Clash. He may use that move in this Royal Rumble match as well. Anything can happen when it comes to Randy Orton because he will frequently strike when least expected.

#18: Otis

OH YEAH! While helping Tucker, Otis should focus on eliminating Dolph Ziggler. As mentioned earlier, he needs to avenge Ziggler for his interference in his love storyline with Mandy Rose. Otis will also be an incredible comic relief for the Rumble as he enacts sexual innuendos in any way, shape, or form. Beware of the steaks! Beware of the weights! But most importantly, beware of Otis because he’s COMING!

#19: Drew McIntyre

If anyone could put Brock Lesnar on a stretcher, it should be Drew McIntyre. There have been rumors of McIntyre facing Lesnar at WrestleMania 36, and this could be an effective way to spark that rivalry. Although he would not be officially eliminating Lesnar from the Rumble match entirely, Claymoring him through the middle rope and Future Shock DDT’ing him through the announce table would help McIntyre look more like the main event superstar he should look like in the WWE today. Vince McMahon did not call him ‘The Chosen One’ for nothing. He could also interact with Orton and Styles since he defeated them on Raw last week. As McIntyre orated, the WWE Universe won’t be chanting 1..2..3 at WWE Royal Rumble 2020 to indicate a pinfall but rather 3..2..1.. to indicate his entrance into the Royal Rumble match as well as his beloved Claymore kick!

#20: Sheamus

Sheamus won the Royal Rumble match in 2012. He recently made an impactful return from injury and cut backstage promos, in which he promised that he would ravage everyone in his sight who tarnished the morale behind SmackDown as a brand. His first target was Shorty G, whom he will be wrestling in a grudge match at this PPV. It would be neat if the winner of the match between Sheamus and Shorty G will earn entry into the Royal Rumble. That way, Sheamus gets added to the Rumble while Shorty G sits out. On the other hand, Sheamus could just completely pummel Shorty G to the point that he cannot compete in the Rumble anyways. If that occurs, Shorty G would need medical assistance and there’s only one number to call: 1-800-Fella.
