WWE Royal Rumble 2016: Ranking Every Entrant's Chances

Most Entertaining Part Of The Rumble

23. Xavier Woods

Maybe Xavier Woods will debut a new musical instrument during the Royal Rumble, replacing the late, great 'Francesca'. Bemoaning the demise of his beloved trombone or not, Woods skirts on the edge of simply being cannon fodder in the match. He may be allowed an elimination or two alongside other members of The New Day.

22. Kofi Kingston

2016 may mark the end of Kofi Kingston's remarkable run of stunning spots, during which he avoids elimination in the most ingenious ways imaginable. The New Day's involvement in the Rumble would allow WWE to book a stall period, having the Tag Team Champions grab the microphone and cut a promo mid-match.

21. Big E

The powerhouse of The New Day, Big E is nonetheless not someone who is considered a realistic winner of the Royal Rumble. That said, he may also be scheduled to chuck a few jobbers from the ring with relative ease, before being eliminated himself by someone WWE appear serious about pushing.

20. D-Von Dudley

It'd make for a pretty cool moment in the match if The Dudley Boyz introduced tables into the Royal Rumble. During the pre-show Kick Off portion, they will be the most likely to advance to the Rumble by way of defeating The Ascension, Damien Sandow and Darren Young, and the team of Mark Henry and Jack Swagger.

19. Bubba Ray Dudley

Could it be that both D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley will put members of The New Day through tables during the actual Royal Rumble itself? A moment like that would help break up proceedings, as well as the monotonous brawling that usually permeates a portion of the yearly bout.

18. Kalisto

Earlier in the evening, Kalisto will challenge Alberto Del Rio for the United States Title. Unlike a few weeks ago on Raw, it doesn't seem like the high-flying masked man will emerge victorious. However, that doesn't mean he can't have a decent showing in the Rumble, flying around the ring and exciting fans.

17. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler is in a weird place right now, and he doesn't really seem to be going anywhere on the WWE roster. It seems like those in charge view him as a good performer, but not somebody to get behind and push. Due to this, he will stick around in the Rumble for a stretch, but remains an unlikely winner.
