WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting All 30 Entrants

9. Cesaro

Royal Rumble 2017
WWE Network

He's still not as high on the card as fans would like him to be, but Cesaro is closing-out 2016 in productive fashion. His team with Sheamus shows a lot of promise, he's featured every single week, and he's been given increased opportunities to shine in the ring. That's a whole lot better than where he was four months ago, even if the Cesaro Section are still crying-out for a main event run.

Cesaro, of course, doesn't have a hope in hell of winning, but should be good for a couple of fun uppercut/swing spots.

Odds of Winning: None.
