WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 surprise entrants we would love to see

#7 Triple H

Triple H’s appearance in the Royal Rumble could set up his WrestleMania match with Seth Rollins

One of the few WrestleMania matches that looks to be set in stone is Triple H vs Seth Rollins. Triple H cost Rollins the Universal Championship on Raw back in August and hasn’t been seen since.

But we finally got some sort of progression in this storyline when The Game’s music hit on Raw this past Monday, causing Rollins to be distracted and lose his spot in the Royal Rumble to Sami Zayn. Now, Rollins is demanding answers yet again, and it seems like we may get a confrontation this Sunday.

Fans had been predicting for a while that Triple H would attack Rollins during the Rumble and cost him the match. But now that Rollins is out of it altogether, perhaps the roles will be reversed.

Some might ask, “Why would Triple H enter the Royal Rumble anyway?” After all, last year he only did it to make sure Roman Reigns didn’t win and retain his title. This year, the reason he would enter is very simple.

Triple H likes the spotlight. His character is egotistical, and if he wins the Rumble he could, in kayfabe, relinquish his number one contendership to keep his golden boy Kevin Owens safe, or try to take the title from Reigns again if the Big Dog captures it on Sunday.

If he does enter, expect Rollins to get involved. Either way, seeing The Game on WWE TV again would be good for everyone.
