#4 Kofi Kingston
There's only one question on everybody's minds; how will Kofi avoid elimination this year?
The creative high flyer is always one of the highlights of the Royal Rumble match and long may it continue. Kofi has the potential to do a lot more than he already has with New Day, but for now keeping him in this spot isn’t too much of a problem. It’s always a good way to pop the crowd, at least.
#5 Xavier Woods
When used right, Woods can be quite the handful in the ring but that rarely comes to fruition. We can probably expect a rather quick elimination for the creator of UpUpDownDown, but it would be nice to see Woods go on a flurry, similar to how he did in the match against the Wyatt Family.
It’s not like he’ll last very long in the match or anything, but these small details are important.
#6 Chris Jericho
The owner of the List of Jericho will probably end up in the final four or five competitors: drink it in, man. Whilst his character doesn’t really suit the role that he’s used to playing in this match, Jericho rarely abides by the face/heel dynamics of the in-ring style.
He’s considered by many to be one of the outside favourites for the win, but considering what happened in 2012 we aren't holding our breath.
