20 Possible WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Surprise Entrants

14. Mojo Rawley

Another young NXT superstar WWE sees potential in is Mojo Rawley. His character is one that would be a logical choice for the Royal Rumble Match. He's not the top superstar in NXT so losing wouldn't set him back, but he's popular enough to generate a quick pop from the Orlando audience. Plus, his high-octane, frenetic energy would do great in a 2-3 minute spot at the Royal Rumble.

In the past when NXT superstars have entered the Royal Rumble Match, they don't always have a very impressive showing. Mojo Rawley is a guy that wouldn't suffer from a quick elimination, it's almost expected given his gimmick, yet he could provide enough of a jolt to surprise and energize the crowd.
