WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting All 30 Entrants

14. Dolph Ziggler

He may have lost to The Miz at TLC, but Dolph Ziggler has been in fine form throughout the Brand Split. SmackDown's writers have somehow revived his once-dead career, and for the first time in years, Ziggler feels important again.

Ziggler's next step is hugely important. A strong rebound is vital, because if Ziggler gets bogged down in midcard purgatory again, it's curtains for his career. Provided WWE can keep him rolling through the Rumble build-up, Ziggler will walk in with a reasonable shot at pulling-off the biggest upset of his career.

Odds of Winning: Outside.
