WWE Royal Rumble 2024: Predicting All 30 Entrants

No John Cena, The Rock or Randy Orton, but Royal Rumble 2024 will have a HUGE moment.

By Jamie Kennedy /

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes are the only two wrestlers to declare for the 2024 men's Royal Rumble at time of writing, but that'll change shortly. WWE will spend the next few weeks of TV announcing various other names for the 30-strong match, and they'll keep a few spots open for tasty surprises.

Those expecting Dwayne Johnson to fly in from Hollywood and follow up on his recent Raw showing might be disappointed though. The Rock isn't on this list. Surprised? Don't be. Rocky bounding out to smell what everyone's cooking would only dilute key stories being told for Punk and Cody, and it'd be totally unnecessary anyway; if Triple H does get Rock vs. Roman Reigns in the ring someday, then he won't actually need the Rumble to do it.

Don't worry, there's plenty of star power even without big names like Rock, John Cena or even Randy Orton. The latter will presumably challenge Roman at the Rumble, so he's out of the running here. 2024's Rumble is gonna be a lot of fun regardless, 'cause this might be one of the stronger full-time lineups in years.

Here's every entry in order from #1 to #30!

30. LA Knight (#1)

YEAH!

Florida would pop its little socks off if LA Knight emerged first in the Rumble. The dude's a big deal these days, but talks of actually winning the 30-man match have cooled significantly since CM Punk returned at Survivor Series: WarGames. Now, ol' LA might need to settle for a strong "Iron Man" showing instead.

He won't be gutted about that, because it still shows faith from Triple H and the WWE creative team. There's no reason why Knight shouldn't go approx an hour in the coming Rumble, then have his heart broken near the end by some crossover piece of crap.

Stay tuned.
