5 WWE Superstars who could have the most eliminations in the Men's Royal Rumble 2021

#2 Big E could have the most eliminations in the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble

Big E

Instead of defending his Intercontinental Championship, Big E is entering the 2021 Royal Rumble match. His separation from the New Day during the 2020 WWE Draft left him on an island and in need of redefining himself.

He's done just that, capturing the IC title and one of the featured spots on SmackDown. Big E has had stars like King Corbin, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, and several others gunning for him now that he holds the blue brand's secondary title.

One way to further Big E's momentum is for him to have a successful run in the Royal Rumble. If he does not win, he needs to at the very least have four or five eliminations. That might no be the most on the night, but it could still be one of the top performances in the match.

With Roman Reigns needing a dance partner at the Show of Shows, someone like Big E would make sense. Much like Drew McIntyre's ascent in 2020, Big E could enjoy some success during the Royal Rumble. He'll have a lot of people to go through if the go-home edition of SmackDown taught the WWE Universe anything.

With the need for new faces growing each week, Big E should continue his path to the main event of SmackDown. If he wins the Royal Rumble match, it will be another step up the ladder, but he will certainly be one of the stars to eliminate a good amount of performers.
