10 WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Predictions 

4. Samoa Joe Is #30

Brock Lesnar Goldberg WM 20
WWE

After an exciting Royal Rumble filled with dramatic action, thrilling surprises, and new interactions, it'll finally be time for #30 to make his entrance. Fans will count down along with the timer, realizing that all of the men who have already been announced for the bout have come out - meaning that the last man in the match will be a surprise entrant.

Sure enough, once the buzzer hits, it'll be two-time NXT Champion and all-around bad ass Samoa Joe who makes his way to the ring, competing in his first televised main roster match. It's been rumored that not only will Joe debut in the Rumble match, but it'll mark the beginning of a major push for him. That'll be fully on display, as he'll start eliminating superstars from a crowded ring right and left.

Though Joe's run in the Rumble won't last too long - after all, once #30 enters, the countdown to the end of the match begins - he'll throw out enough opponents that he'll certainly have made an impression.
