10 Royal Rumble 2017 Entrants Who Won’t Enter 2018's

7. Big Show

Joining Big Cass on the injured list is his opponent from last year's SummerSlam. Big Show is a possibility for the 2018 Rumble, but he'd be much better off taking a year off and coming back in time for the Battle Royal at WrestleMania or something like that. At this point, what could he really add to the Rumble? It's time to give some fresh faces a chance.

Show was another eliminated by Strowman in 2017, and he only lasted a shade over 90 seconds. To put things into perspective, his old tag partner Chris Jericho was in the match for over 60 minutes. That Big Show, he never has been a work horse. Just kidding: the giant more than did his part to make Braun look like a killer.

Hip surgery might mean he misses out on January 28. Note the use of might; if he's somehow able to hobble down the ramp (WWE won't have those little carts they used in the Alamodome last year) and work a few minutes, his entrance would get a nice pop. It's probably for the best it doesn't happen, mind.
