10 Wrestlers Who Should Be Number One In The 2015 Royal Rumble

7. Cesaro

While he may seem out of place on this list compared to some of the other aforementioned Superstars, Cesaro makes more sense than you may think. Despite being a heel, he hasn't taken a side in recent months between Team Cena and The Authority. Other than nearly joining The Authority at one point in November, he's been cast as a background player in the story and has floundered since WrestleMania 30. Needless to say, the King of Swing has been due for a face turn for quite a while; the favorable reactions he receives from audiences during his matches are indicative of that. That said, there's no better way to endear Cesaro to the audience than having him go up against The Authority, though there isn't much time left for him to do so before the Royal Rumble. However, in asking The Authority for an opportunity to shine, they might in turn put him in the No. 1 spot in the Rumble match. One of the biggest workhorses in the company, he would flourish as the match's initial entrant; moreover, a strong showing in the Rumble may help him get his singles career back on track before 'Mania rolls around.
