WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting All 30 Entrants

28. Baron Corbin

Royal Rumble 2017

He's still struggling to connect on SmackDown, but WWE clearly like Baron Corbin. They wouldn't have let him win this year's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal otherwise, and while he hasn't made any kind of title hunt on the main roster, The Lone Wolf enjoys regular airtime on Tuesday nights.

Baron will almost certainly appear in his first Rumble this January, but barring a miracle, he's not going to be headlining WrestleMania anytime soon. Still, look for WWE to take full advantage of his imposing size by having him notch at least a couple of eliminations.

Odds of Winning: Slim to none.
