5 Possible surprise entrants in the 2019 men's Royal Rumble match

#2 Kevin Owens

Owens being in the Rumble would be touch-and-go.

Kevin Owens is currently sidelined after a double knee injury and is due to return in the coming month or two. Return vignettes have played for both him and best friend, Sami Zayn.

The pair of them could make their returns together and embark on the same path to WrestleMania, but there have been reports that Owens might be ready by Royal Rumble. This gives us the possibility of seeing him return to WWE as a surprise entrant in the Rumble match.

It would certainly garner a massive pop and further the Rumble's reputation as a surprise return machine. WWE is sorely missing Kevin Owens and his personality on Raw, he would really make a major difference as long as he gets something to sink his teeth into following his return.

Owens is too talented to not have a proper storyline in place for him. His and possibly Zayn's return timelines could both bode very well for the Rumble. It will be huge.
