The Royal Rumble Match, which is hailed as one of the most unpredictable matches of the WWE is only 1 month away and the IWC is already abuzz with a lot of speculation and predictions.

Steadily, the card for the event is taking shape and as always we will see the traditional 30 men and 30 women Royal Rumble match for a championship match at WrestleMania 35.

The main highlight of this event has been its iconic returns and debuts. On one side we see some shocking returns from former superstars and on another debut of talented wrestlers from NXT or any other wrestling company.

The likes of AJ Styles, Bret Hart, Jake Roberts, Sami Zayn, Rusev and Vader had debuted in the iconic Royal Rumble match and had also established themselves very well on the main roster for a remarkable stint in WWE.

The debutants will have a big job to do by proving themselves in Royal Rumble to get an opportunity on any brand in near future. Here are the 3 wrestlers who could make their debut in the 2019 Royal Rumble match.


3.) Lars Sullivan

The big name from NXT has now got the green signal to work on the main roster as we have been seeing his promos from the last few weeks. Though it is not decided at which brand and when he will step his foot in the ring, but looking at his monster figure and performances in NXT one could easily assume he will dominate all rivals.

It is being speculated that he could soon make his debut this very year. But as only a handful of days are left for Royal Rumble it would not be possible for the WWE Creative to set The Freak's debut feud.

Keeping this in mind WWE could book his much-awaited debut at the 30 man Royal Rumble next year and would possibly have him thrash every competitor in his path to deliver a memorable debut and then he may be assigned to a suitable brand.

2.) Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega is a huge name connected with NJPW. He has developed himself more than any other wrestler and is regarded as the best wrestler in the world. Vince McMahon may have set his eyes on this wrestler who has the ability to wrestle high-quality matches and also has good charisma which is needed in WWE.

A few months earlier, rumours were aplenty that Kenny Omega's NJPW contract is going to expire soon and may WWE could be standing on the line to offer a big money deal to Kenny Omega so as to make the WWE locker room more star-studded.

For "The Cleaner", the Royal Rumble would be the best platform to debut as no other match is so unpredictable as the Rumble. If Kenny Omega arrives at the Royal Rumble and eliminates big stars like Randy Orton, AJ Styles or Shinsuke Nakamura, he could build himself as an even stronger wrestler.

1.) Aleister Black

Everybody in the WWE Universe knows this wrestler from NXT. His entrance, attitude, style, brutal moves and wrestling remind us of The Undertaker. There is a high possibility that WWE will soon promote Aleister Black to the main roster because of his successful career in NXT.

I think WWE will not take too long to make his debut on the main roster. The NXT Championship match with Gargano is set up for NXT TakeOver: Phoenix before the Royal Rumble 2019 so there's high possibility of The Dutch Destroyer to make his debut at the traditional Royal Rumble match.

Aleister Black has lot of talent and potential to become a main eventer in WWE. With his fearsome attitude and exceptional wrestling skills he is the most likely one to make debut at Royal Rumble and can have a longer run in WWE in the weeks to come.
