22. Xavier Woods

Xavier Woods is the driving force behind The New Day, but there's no doubt he's the weakest in ring competitor of the three. The group win significnatly fewer matches when Woods is in the ring, and while he's certainly no slouch, he's the New Day member least likely to break out as a singles star.

As such, there's absolutely no chance of him winning the Royal Rumble, and he'll only serve as elimination fodder for one of the match's more decorated participants. Expect Woods to come out in an early-to-middle spot, pop the crowd, and play an out-of-tune trombone melody. That's all we should expect from him, and it's all we're likely to get.

Chances: None.
