#1 Sami Zayn

The Iron Men of the Rumble are usually underdog performers, hard-working superstars. Who better than the Underdog from the Underground to grind it out for 60 minutes against a variety of superstars.
Sami Zayn is rumoured to return at the Rumble along with his best friend Kevin Owens, and a stellar performance at the Rumble event will help him become a star in the eyes of WWE Universe once again.
Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.
Zayn is a talented but a very unlucky superstar, whose booking and injuries have derailed his career a bit. Him returning at the Rumble, putting a money-making performance, will be delightful.
Zayn has given some classics in his career against the likes of Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles. He has all the tools to become a major superstar in WWE, and it should be capitalized on soon!
