#3 Tye Dillinger
Because why would WWE throw the fans a bone? As great as it would be to see Tye Dillinger come into the Royal Rumble match at number 10, it’s just not going to happen. In fact, I foresee the number 10 spot going to The Miz, who WWE fans will boo out of the building when it occurs.
I understand that a Royal Rumble appearance doesn’t mean a call-up to the main roster for an NXT member (Sami Zayn went back to NXT for a few months after last year’s surprise appearance) but that still doesn’t mean that Tye is slotted in for a spot on Sunday.
The fans will count down, very excited to see Dillinger, and then hear “Aaaaaaaaaawesoooooommmmee…” over the loudspeakers and be very, very upset. And that’s how it should be.
