Predicting Every NXT Entrant In WWE Royal Rumble 2020

These NXT stars could make their names in the Royal Rumble, but could any of them win?

This year saw NXT officially leave behind the developmental branding and standing equal with RAW and SmackDown as a main roster show. Since then, we've seen one of the best Survivor Series shows in years, which helped make household names of some members of the gold and black brand. And this year's Royal Rumble is offering another chance for stars to step forward into the spotlight.

While we've had some members of NXT showing up in the Royal Rumble in previous years, this is the first time that they'll be entering on an equal footing with the other shows. Ten numbers in each Rumble have likely been set aside for members of the Full Sail roster. Who will step forward and grab Vince's brass ring? Who will call on their teammates to help them get further? Who will cheaply eliminate their allies? Whose return from injury will pop the crowd? Who will save themselves from elimination in a ridiculously athletic fashion?

Here are the NXT stars we reckon will enter the 2020 Royal Rumble, what they'll do when they're in there, and which one has a chance of winning.

20. Mia Yim

NXT has what may well be the best roster of female wrestlers in the world... and Mia Yim. Far from being deficient in the ring, Mia could be the top star in most promotions, but she just isn't quite up to the technical level of her colleagues.

Put her in the Rumble and all that changes. Her takedown brawling style would be better suited to the battle royale format, and it keeps her out of the way of the main spots while keeping the numbers up. It also helps that she sports a unique look, which would separate her from the rest of the pack.

Expect a mid-battle entry for Mia with her battering a load of the women in the ring and setting up those moments where everyone gets their own spot but nobody ends up with an advantage.

After hearing that you are what you eat, Mik took a good hard look at his diet and realised he might just be a szechuan spare rib alongside prawn fried rice.
