From @rocco_619: Who would you rather see as surprise 30th (or 40th) Royal Rumble entrant (ala Edge) in January: Bryan, Angle, Sting or Reigns??
Whether it's a 40 man Rumble (as rumored) or the traditional 30 man Rumble, it's a good idea to have a surprise man as the last entrant in the Rumble match. That's something we have seen a few times with surprise winners in 2008 with John Cena and 2010 with Edge. Here are some quick thoughts on the four choices. Daniel Bryan - That's my pick. We haven't heard from him in so long and he hasn't wrestled since May, so a surprise return of Bryan would be something that the fans love the most. Kurt Angle - That would be a huge moment. He hasn't been in WWE since 2006. To hear that song again in the Rumble match would be incredible. It's a moment we wouldn't forget. Sting - It would be a smart idea. Sting's in his mid-50s and he shouldn't work a long match. He doesn't have to win either. Just seeing him in there would be awesome. They could also set up a WrestleMania match for him just based off Royal Rumble interaction. Roman Reigns - He's the favorite to win, so that makes a lot of sense. However, he's probably going to return to the ring before the end of 2014. That means it wouldn't be a surprise to put him in the Royal Rumble. There's a lot of potential for a surprise entrant at the end of the Rumble match. It's definitely something we should look forward to.
