#8. WWE SmackDown's Xia Li
Even before debuting on WWE's main roster, Xia Li has entered multiple Royal Rumble Matches. This year, she can make a true impact. Li debuted on SmackDown last month after weeks of intriguing vignettes. Her presentation has been unique.
Xia Li's martial arts background may come in handy at the Royal Rumble, with a good showing in the match furthering her stock on the blue brand. The Chinese Superstar has an exciting future.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
#7. Raquel Gonzalez may make an impact in the Royal Rumble
After failing to regain the NXT Women's Championship from Mandy Rose, Raquel Gonzalez seems like a lock for the Royal Rumble. She does not have anything left to do with the brand and her presence is welcome on RAW and SmackDown. This would be the best way to debut her on the main roster.
Gonzalez can dominate the Rumble from a middle spot – around No.14 or 15. She is called 'Big Mami Cool,' after all. The former NXT Women's Champion might even be a dark horse to win the entire thing. Either way, Raquel Gonzalez should have a strong showing in the Royal Rumble Match.
