There are a number of spots in The Royal Rumble next year that will just be considered "fillers"

#3 Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston's Royal Rumble antics have become well-known

Kofi Kingston may be one of the most decorated Tag Team wrestlers of all time, but the one thing Kofi will be remembered for long after his career is over is his incredible antics in The Royal Rumble.

Kofi has shocked the world by managing to cheat being eliminated a number of times over the past few years, but it seems that recently his exploits haven't been as shocking as the WWE Universe have come to expect. Last year Kofi didn't fully deliver on his usual gravity-defying tricks, which has left many fans wondering if The New Day member has run out of ideas now.

Kofi was the only member of The New Day in the Rumble last year and if he's chosen once again, it's obvious that he won't be winning the match so WWE is only adding him to the show because they think that he has some impressive tricks up his sleeve that the WWE Universe will be hotly anticipating.
