WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 10 Possible Surprise Entrants

10. Tye Dillinger

The Royal Rumble is all about numbers. The statistics machine goes into overdrive for the annual extravaganza, tracking number of eliminations, total number of entries, time spent in the match, and of course, the order of entry. What could be better than NXT’s Perfect 10 making his grand entrance at number 10 in the match?

Will it happen? Dillinger is one of the most consistent and popular performers in NXT, having really found his feet with the Perfect 10 character. It can’t have escaped the notice of Vince and co. that the “10” chants have made their way to main roster crowds at major events, and they may be looking to capitalise on this.

However, Dillinger is currently in the middle of his hottest run on the yellow brand, as the Booby Roode rivalry has given him his first real storyline to sink his teeth into, and he has not disappointed. There may be unfinished business for him there, and NXT needs to keep hold of some talent, after all.
