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.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
