6. Maria Kanellis

Maria noted on social media how she'd be 30 weeks pregnant on her latest return to the flagship show, so any physicality or a shock Royal Rumble announcement are most definitely off the table.

What's most interesting about her announced appearance was the lack of involvement of her husband Mike, considering the gimmick the pair were saddled with upon their formal SmackDown Live! debuts last year. He didn't get off the ground before revelations of his struggle with drugs and her pregnancy parked the act completely.

The Raw return may just provide the opportunity for her to share the screen with some of her contemporaries, or perhaps competitively compare baby bumps with fellow former 'Diva' Maryse.
