#3 EC3
Ad

The first surprise of the Royal Rumble comes from the former Impact World Heavyweight Champion, Ethan Carter III. EC3 recently left Impact Wrestling and also recently cancelled an indie date that just so happens to be on the same night as the Royal Rumble.

With Ed Nordholm enabling past Impact Wrestling stars to retain their gimmicks, I think the WWE will go with the EC3 name at least, and putting him in the Royal Rumble at number three makes complete sense.
It would make the second time in three years a big debut happened in the #3 spot of the Royal Rumble (AJ Styles, 2016).
