Predicting the Royal Rumble entrants 1-20

Modified Jan 21, 2018 18:58 GMT

Nobody saw John Cena entering the 2008 Royal Rumble at #30, what surprises are in store ten years later?

#9 Jinder Mahal

Jinder Mahal has a breakthrough year in 2017...

Normally when Jinder Mahal entered the Royal Rumble, it was just the usual spot for a jobber to come in and get eliminated within a couple of minutes or less; however, after the breakthrough year Mahal had in 2017, he cannot be looked at as an afterthought any longer.

After losing in the finals of the WWE United States Championship tournament to Bobby Roode, Jinder sets his sights on becoming a two-time WWE Champion. I don't expect Jinder to be one of the last ones standing, but I do expect a decent run out of him in this match.
