5 Unwanted Royal Rumble entrants and 5 wanted replacements

#2 Enzo Amore

Why was the Certified G even in the match?

Enzo Amore is a great speaker and a charismatic individual. His wrestling is okay, but the money with Amore is his mic skills. However, Amore was not needed in this Royal Rumble Match. When Enzo came out as the #27 entrant, many fans saw this as a bad sign that the WWE would not include any surprise entrants in the match other than NXT Superstar Tye Dillinger.

Amore made his way to the ring, got hyped up, and was swiftly eliminated by Brock Lesnar. Amore entering the match was unneeded and he really served no purpose other than to pad Lesnar’s elimination list.

Replacement: Kurt Angle

DId the WWE really not even think about this?

It would’ve been the perfect scenario with Lesnar standing tall in the ring for Kurt Angle to enter the Royal Rumble match. Imagine the pop that The Olympic Gold Medalist would’ve received if he confronted Lesnar in the match and reminded the fans of their legendary feud from 2003.

The 27^th spot was the perfect number for Angle to enter the Royal Rumble match and would’ve made for a fantastic moment. It’s a shame that the WWE didn’t even consider this as a possibility when it was a perfect visual and a perfect encounter practically staring them in the face.
