WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know
3. Finn Balor Will Debut
We won't be seeing Bullet/Balor Club at the Royal Rumble, but that doesn't mean that the seeds can't be planted. Reigning NXT Champion Finn Balor's WWE debut could very well happen in the Royal Rumble match, with the ultra-popular babyface having an impressive showing, then slowly turning heel and introducing his cronies over the next few months. What truly makes Balor's presence in the Rumble a possibility is just how decimated the top of WWE's roster is right now. With so many main eventers missing, the WrestleMania card is looking disappointing. While AJ Styles will be a great addition to it (as will Nakamura, if they decide to bring him up that quickly), there are few wrestlers WWE could feasibly use who would get the reaction of Finn Balor. Their fanbase (especially in Orlando) already knows and loves him, making him a perfect addition to the roster. Still, WWE might not want to debut Balor only to have him lose a match - though they did do it to Rusev, who got a huge push afterwards. We'll have to wait and see.
