Will any of Triple H's NXT stars appear in the Royal Rumble?

While the Royal Rumble is known for its surprise entrants, so is the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

At WrestleMania 33, everybody remembers Mojo Rawley receiving assistance from best buddy Rob Gronkowski to eliminate Jinder Mahal to win the trophy, but it’s also worth remembering that NXT’s Killian Dain finished third in the match.

The Northern Irishman, unadvertised for the one-off main-roster appearance, established himself as one of NXT’s most impressive performers in 2017 and all four members of the SAnitY faction (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Nikki Cross and Dain) are expected to be called up to WWE’s main roster in 2018.

If anybody, even just one person, from NXT is involved in the Rumble, expect it to be Dain.
