A novice might think that entering the Rumble last would carry some great advantage, but it clearly doesnt. The #30 spot has yielded just two winners throughout the 28-year history of the Rumble: Undertaker in 2007, and John Cena in 2008. But even though entering last doesnt guarantee victory, it still is considered a coveted spot, so whomever enters at #30 will probably be a big deal. Undertaker has entered last three times, while Big Show has entered last twice. The last two to walk down the ramp last were Rey Mysterio (to huge boos in 2014) and Dolph Ziggler last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MloKwaRH_ro Conventional wisdom would say that Triple H enters last to pop the crowd and put a nail in the coffin of Roman Reigns title run. But it could go a couple different ways. Perhaps Triple H enters at #27, #28 or #29 and then brings out a bruiser at #30 to be his enforcer (Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman, Kane or even Brock Lesnar) and ensure Roman gets tossed. There also is the fun rumor that someone enters at #30, but then Mr. McMahon announces a 31st entrant, Triple H.
