26. Bray Wyatt

2017 will be Bray Wyatt's fifth Royal Rumble overall, and as one half of the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions, he's a dead cert. For all his misuse over the past few years, Wyatt remains one of the company's most popular stars, and he and his Wyatt Family brethren are prime candidates for the year's annual "gang-up" spot.

Wyatt has been treated with a little more respect in recent months. He was allowed to score the decisive pinfall in Survivor Series' Raw vs. SmackDown men's match, and can now call himself a champion for the first time in his WWE career. He's probably not going to win the Royal Rumble, but considering his recent fortunes, he's not a complete lost cause.

Odds of Winning: Outside chance.
