WWE Royal Rumble 2020: Predicting All 30 Entrants In The Men’s Royal Rumble
By Mark Justice
#26: Kane
The Mayor… cough…. Devil’s Favorite Demon is back! Kane made an appearance on Friday Night SmackDown last week to help his former Team Hell No tag team partner, Universal Championship Number One Contender Daniel Bryan, get in the head of Universal Champion Bray Wyatt. Kane is known for having the most eliminations overall in the Royal Rumble Match and it’ll be interesting to see how many superstars he eliminates this time around. When Kane officially enters the Royal Rumble, the wonder of the world is gone and no flame returns.
#27: Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio won the Royal Rumble in 2006. He is also known for being the top Iron Man in Royal Rumble history after lasting 62 minutes in the Rumble and winning it from the #2 spot. He is currently scheduled to battle Andrade for the United States Championship in a ladder match on Raw. Whether he wins or loses that championship match, he has an opportunity in the Royal Rumble to work his magic once again. His biggest rivalry in 2019 was against Lesnar. Since Andrade might not be in the Rumble and more likely defend his championship against the returning Humberto Carillo on this PPV, Mysterio can focus on Lesnar, the superstar who mauled his son, Dominick, on the September 30 episode of Monday Night Raw. Although Mysterio lost his WWE Championship match against Lesnar at WWE Survivor Series 2019 in November, he still has a chance to redeem himself in the Rumble by eliminating Lesnar. All he needs to do is dial up the telephone and call 619.
#28: Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is currently the betting favorite to win the Men’s Royal Rumble Match. He has three targets in Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler, and most importantly King Corbin. Other than the match he has with Corbin before the Rumble, Reigns is going to have to keep his head in the game to make sure he is not eliminated by Corbin or his goons. If he doesn’t, this rivalry would continue on the road to WrestleMania 36. If he does, he can refocus on capturing the Universal Championship he never lost, whether it be from Bray Wyatt or Daniel Bryan. Believe THAT!
#29: Cain Velasquez
If Rey Mysterio does not dial it up and call 619, he can always call Dominick’s godfather, Cain Velasquez. Like Mysterio, Velasquez lost his WWE Championship match against Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel 2019 in October. His sole target should be his main MMA and now WWE rival, Brock Lesnar. Velasquez’s performance against Lesnar was quite mediocre, but he now has an opportunity to redeem himself in the Rumble by eliminating Lesnar and hopefully putting another scar on Lesnar’s face.
#30: King Corbin
CM Punk? Edge? John Cena? Velveteen Dream? Undertaker? Goldberg? R-Truth? Nope, none of the above. How funny and disappointing would it be if King Corbin was the #30 entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match? He would probably get the greatest heel heat in Royal Rumble history. It would be despicable but likely if he eliminated Roman Reigns to avenge his highly probable loss to him earlier that night. It would be catastrophic if he actually won the entire Royal Rumble and advanced to the main event of WrestleMania 36. However, he’s not winning the Rumble.
