WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Ranking Likelihood Of 10 Potential Surprise Entrants

10. Anyone From All Elite Wrestling (Probability 0/10)

Let’s get this out of the way early. There is no chance that anyone from All Elite Wrestling will be showing up at the Royal Rumble next Saturday.

On this past edition of SmackDown, Seth Rollins referred to the former Dean Ambrose as ‘Mox’ and WWE showed a video package highlighting Roman Reigns’ 508-day Universal Title reign that heavily featured the former Daniel Bryan. Factor that in with MJF, CM Punk and others frequently mentioning WWE or their superstars, and the seeds are certainly planted for an invasion angle of some kind.

However, that will not be the case during the Royal Rumble match. The Forbidden Door has already been opened by AEW as they have worked with AAA, Impact Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling in the past, and there have even been talks about WWE working with AEW on some upcoming projects. None of that means that the two largest wrestling companies in the world will be working together on screen anytime soon.

The wrestling world will have to wait at least one more year for the Royal Rumble match to be All Elite.
