5 twists that could happen at the 2017 Royal Rumble

It’s almost time for the most unpredictable Rumble in years

#2 Shaq is a surprise Rumble entrant

Shaq could be this year’s celebrity entrant

We know that The Big Show is in the Rumble match. He's a staple of the match because it's a feat to eliminate him, so it's important for him to be there.

This year, though, the plan is still reportedly to do Show vs. Shaq at WrestleMania. That could mean that Big Show is in the match specifically to initiate a build-up towards the WrestleMania match.

Shaq could enter after Show clears the ring and they could have a stand-off. Eventually, someone else comes in and they eliminate him together, but then Shaq dumps Show out while he has his back turned.

WWE loves the celebrity involvement, and if Shaq vs. Big Show is the plan for WrestleMania, then I would not be shocked to see the former NBA All-Star as a Rumble match entrant.

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.
