WWE Royal Rumble 2016: Ranking Every Entrant's Chances
The No-Chance Jobbers
30. Adam Rose
A member of the Social Outcasts, Adam Rose has been shoe-horned into the group because management doesn't have a lot else for him to do. There's a very good chance that he will be the first one to be thrown over the top rope and out of the Royal Rumble.
29. Curtis Axel
Similarly, Curtis Axel is part of the Social Outcasts, which exists almost as a modern-day J.O.B Squad kind of faction. It's virtually impossible to imagine Axel as anything other than cannon fodder for the Rumble, leading many to wonder why he's even involved in a WWE World Heavyweight Title match to begin with.
28. Bo Dallas
It may be the main crux of the man's gimmick, but not many wrestling fans 'BOlieve' that Bo Dallas has any chance of winning. Much like Adam Rose and Curtis Axel, he's very much only there to make up the numbers. A few minutes at best is all Dallas can expect from this pay-per-view appearance.
27. Heath Slater
Rounding out the entrants from the Social Outcasts, Heath Slater is undeniably being portrayed as the leader of the jobb - sorry, enhancement talent - stable. Much like his pals, Slater will find himself dumped out with relative ease in the Royal Rumble. Admittedly, he could last a little longer than the likes of Rose, Axel and Dallas, but he's far from a favourite.
26. Stardust
The career of Cody Rhodes has taken a noticeable dip towards enhancement talent status over the past year or so. As the comical Stardust, there doesn't seem to be any chance that Rhodes - once deemed a future potential headliner in WWE - can feasibly come close to winning the Rumble.
25. Erick Rowan
Even though he's a physically huge man, Erick Rowan is very much the weak link in The Wyatt Family at the moment. His role may be to go head-to-head with someone like The Big Show, only to come out on the losing end and find himself strolling back up the ramp towards the exit doors.
24. 'King' Barrett
Much like Stardust, Wade Barrett has found himself hampered with a kooky gimmick over the past while. His 'King' Barrett shtick hasn't been fruitful, and it's highly likely he will be expendable during the Royal Rumble match. The Englishman is talented, but he's only there to make up the numbers.
