Royal Rumble Surprise Entrants

[JimmyMess]

With the Rumble on Sunday, and 10 positions still unfilled, what surprise entrants do you think will show up, or want to see in the Rumble?

For myself I think the following will show up:

Christian
Sheamus
Jake Roberts
Kevin Nash
Chris Jericho
Hacksaw


and yourselves?

[MikeyMike]

Same + Taker probably

[Vastardikai]

Sheamus
Jake "The Snake"
Glen the Libertarian
William Regal
John Morisson
Taka Michinoku

[MikeyMike]

Pretty sure I read somewhere Jeff Hardy's TNA contract's up and he's not re-signed, so wouldn't be surprised to see him as well.

[Rammsteinmad]

I wanna see someone "different". Someone we never see. Would love to see Ken Shamrock as a surprise entrant. Billy Kidman, or guys like Carlito, Shelton Benjamin etc.

[Schlomey]

Ted Jr. comes to mind. Talk about a wasted career........

[Heisenberg]

Tatanka and John Morrison

[Rollermacka]

David Alan Grier
Earl of Sandwich
Bruce Vilanch
Nostradamus
The Artist Formerly Known as Prince

[scatterbrain28]

Jerry Lawler could throw down his headset and jump in the ring as the #17 entry.

[Savio]

I think RVD might show up

[Corndad]

Sheamus, Jericho, Nash, and Matt Hardy all have events around the city either on Saturday or Sunday so those are all pretty good possibilities.

Would love a random Steve Blackman sighting. Too bad Angle is under TNA contact or his entrance would be Epic but who knows.

I just hope as other have stated, its not the "usuals" like Hacksaw or Sgt Slaughter. Been overdone.

[FourFifty]

So if I had to guess all 10....

1. Either Jericho or RVD- No point in wasting two really good cameos or possible returns in one night
2. Christian- Cleared to return
3. Sheamus- Cleared to return
4. William Regal- Would LOVE to see this!
5. Kane- If nothing else to try to take out Punk.
6. Honky Tonk Man- Random legend that can still take a topple over the top rope
7. Jake Roberts- If nothing else it'll look good if he gets the HoF this year.
8. The winner of the Bray Wyatt/Daniel Bryan match
9. Dolph Ziggler OR The Brooklyn Brawler- Dolph is undergoing testing to see if he can go in.
10. Bo Dallas- BOcause he's the NXT champion.

However I would be cool with 10 NXT people in the Royal Rumble... Might not happen, but still, a man can dream....
1. Sami Zayn
2. Bo Dallas
3. Adrian Neville
4. Leo Kruger
5. Alexander Rusev
6. Aiden English
7. Konnor
8. Viktor
9. Colin Cassady
10....

Jake Roberts seems a strong option as do a Christian and Sheamus. Possibly Jericho and RVD.

DDP? Would be interesting to see Sid or Vader in there.

If anyone from NXT deserves a spot in the rumble it is Tyler Breeze

[FourFifty]

If nothing else, for his intro.

[Ermaximus]

Foley
Christian
Jericho
Sheamus
Bo Dallas
Khali
Brodus
Morrison
Carlito
JBL

[GD]

Carlito
Shelton Benjamin
MVP

:shifty:

[JimmyMess]

I see a few John Morrison posts.... that would be cool.

Didn't think of Matt Hardy, and that would also be cool.

But Carlito.... now THAT is cool.

[Emperor Smeat]

Jericho
Sheamus
Kane - to finally break HBK's record

Rusev as the possible NXT rep entrant.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I can't see all 10 remaining spots being actual surprise entrants. I imagine some more current guys like The Real Americans, Sin Cara, Khali etc. round out some of the spots.</font>

[GD]

Bruno Sammartino.

[Tom Guycott]

The Artist Formerly Known as Prince

... Iaukea.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I'd want Scott over Razor, blasphemy I know.

[whiteyford]

Dirtsheets say JoMo as a one off appearance.

[dronepool]

Essa Rios

[Impeccable]

Would love to see random Taka and Funaki entry

[Impeccable]

Thinking about CM Punk, if he is #1 in the rumble, it's going to need to be an established star at #2, and not someone we would believe he could easily dispatch, or else the start of the rumble becomes quite boring (unless he's dropping a pipebomb?)

That's why it would be cool to see Jeff Hardy or Jericho at #2

But it will probably be Reigns

[Hanso Amore]

Say it every year

Val Venis

Just for his theme.

My personal wet dream would be Lance Storm.

[Curtis]

My money is on punk or Bryan to win. The hype with the punk angle and him being drawn first could mean he will win however I see him getting screwed over somehow I.e. Being eliminated by the NOA and shield and referee eliminating him despite both feet not touching the floor something like that.

Can see Daniel Bryan as all the momentum and buzz is with him atm. Maybe final four will be Punk, Bryan, Bray Wyatt and Batista.

Surprises will be returning superstars from injury and Jake Roberts and maybe Ron Simmons just to shout damn when he gets eliminated.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sting!!!!!!!!!!!!! nah JK.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

But I called it if it happens.

[JimmyMess]

the only way that could work is if Sting wins the Rumble

[Bobo]

I think they're still discussing storylines with sting so it would be way too soon and maybe wm30 may be a stretch now but they have a year and a bit to prepare for 31.

[el bobbo]

Jimmy Wang Yang
Aldo Montoya
Al Snow
Max Moon
Balls Mahoney

[jaycool2k]

Would like to see:

1-2-3 Kid
The Blue Meanie
The Undertaker
Bob Bucklund
William Regal

[Mr. Nerfect]

I decided a few minutes ago that my latest pipe-dream is CM Punk making his way down to the ring for the Rumble as #1. When it is time for #2 to enter, a voice comes over the PA and says in slow, deliberate English: "CM Punk, you claim to be The Best in the World. I challenge this. I have begged The Authority to allow me to be #2 in the Royal Rumble even though I don't work for WWE. I will eliminate you, for I am the Best in the World."

Cue this theme:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lO4yNj6g8n8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Shinsuke Nakamura from New Japan Pro-Wrestling hits the ring and spends the early parts of the Rumble matching CM Punk move for move. Nakamura is eventually eliminated about a third of the way through the match, but he shows up again on RAW to save Punk from a Shield beat-down. He was brought in by The Authority, he reveals, but he played them because he genuinely wants to find out if he is better than CM Punk.

The WWE Network then airs New Japan Pro-Wrestling PPVs and Nakamura does a bit of a stint with the company and sees if he can connect as a radical babyface with the WWE audience.

The chances of this happening? 0%. I don't give a fuck.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would mark out for Tyler Breeze debuting in the Royal Rumble. Or the return of Jeff Hardy as #2 if the WWE decides to not go with my totally-cool Shinsuke Nakamura idea.

[Brigstocke]

Sheamus and Christian I think must be givens, I'd be on my feet for Jeff, JoMo or Benjamin turning up though.

[Corndad]

Just finished making my TPWW sign so maybe our site will be making a Surprise Entry into the Rumble this year hopefully.

[JimmyMess]

Waltman just pulled out of an appearance due to "unforeseen circumstances" hmmm ROYALRUMBLE????!!

[Shadrick]

Why do people think Jarrett will be in it? Did he leave TNA or something? Not being funny, legit dont know

[Corndad]

Also since I noted my other sign in here and the Royal Rumble Thread isn't up yet. This is why I married her...
