Every year, there is at least one NXT Superstar who enters the Royal Rumble Match. Sometimes, it's just a one-off and sometimes, it is a tease for the Superstar joining either RAW or SmackDown a few months later. However, in Damian Priest's case, it might just be an immediate call-up from NXT.

The Archer of Infamy has had a solid run on NXT. He won the North American Championship and had high-profile matches against the likes of Johnny Gargano, Finn Balor, and Karrion Kross. In fact, after his defeat to Kross at NXT New Year's Evil, Priest has not been seen on TV.

This is pretty much an indication that he will debut in the Royal Rumble Match. Priest could enter early on - around No. 7 or 8 - and have a strong showing. There may not be a better way to introduce him to the WWE fans than that. Priest is a big guy as well, so it shouldn't be that tough.

There may be another NXT cameo or two in the Men's Royal Rumble Match, with Kyle O'Reilly instantly coming to mind. However, with limited spots left, it is unlikely that anybody will add to Damian Priest as NXT's representatives in the 30-man melee.
