10 WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Predictions 

8. Yes, Tye Dillinger Comes In At #10

It's expected that this year, the Royal Rumble will play host to at least a couple of NXT call-ups, men making their main roster debuts. While one in particular will have a huge impact on the bout (more on that later), there's an entrance that everybody is hoping to see.

For the past year, Tye Dillinger has become a sensation in NXT, with his "Perfect 10" gimmick really getting over with the brand's passionate audiences. Fans love chanting "10" at Dillinger, and after he performs, the chants often last for the rest of the show. The fact that he's also a really skilled worker has helped him, and after years of honing his craft, he's ready for the big time.

Since the Royal Rumble is all about numbers and countdowns, many are hoping that Dillinger (who's pretty much tied up his loose ends in NXT) will enter the bout - at number 10, naturally. Some would say that it's too obvious, too heavily rumored, but this time, I think they'll get it right - Dillinger will make a big debut and really heat up the crowd.
