WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting All 30 Entrants

21. Kofi Kingston

Given the size of their roster, WWE may choose to keep most of their tag wrestlers out of next year's Royal Rumble. None of these guys are realistically going to win the match, so for the most part, they'd be a wasted spot. WWE have a massive stock of singles wrestlers to call upon, and they'd benefit from the rub more than the average middling tag worker.

Despite all this, Kofi Kingston has a couple of things going for him. Firstly, he's part of one of the company's most popular (and marketable) acts, and secondly, it wouldn't be the Rumble without his creative "escape" spots. He's not going to win, but Kofi will provide one cool moment at the very least.

Odds of Winning: None.
