WWE Royal Rumble 2018: 10 Suprise Entrants We Could See

10. Kassius Ohno

It's pretty much a guarantee that at some point during the Royal Rumble match, we will see an NXT debut. While there are a slew of names that could easily make the jump to the main roster this Sunday (Velveteen Dream, Lars Sullivan, Aleister Black), there is perhaps no better choice than Kassius Ohno.

The former Chris Hero has found himself in an odd position since returning to the WWE fold in 2016. Despite being an immensely talented and popular wrestler, he has settled into a sort of gatekeeper role, mostly wrestling new guys and leaving Drew McIntyre, Andrade Almas and the rest to populate the main event scene.

Having first signed with WWE in 2012, it would be a huge shame for Ohno to step away from the squared circle without a run on the main roster. At thirty-eight, he's no spring chicken, and really, there's no better time than the Rumble to bring him up. Seeing him reunite (or square off) with his former Kings of Wrestling partner Cesaro would be a blast, and with rumours that Sheamus is due to take time off, getting the band back together would be a great substitute for The Bar's phenomenal run over the past year.
