20. Big Show

The World's Largest Athlete has been a bit part player this year. He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32, but he has done little of note since, and rumours suggest he's looking to retire after Mania 33.

This is almost certainly the Big Show's last Royal Rumble, and there's a clear role for him to play. This week's Raw appeared to set him up for a big monster vs. monster showdown with Braun Strowman, and with the duo regularly facing each other on recent house shows, Strowman vs. Show could be a feud heading into Fastlane in February.

We already know that Show is scheduled to face Shaquille O'Neal at WrestleMania. This, along with a number of other factors, rules him out of the running on Sunday. Look for him to notch at least a handful of eliminations, though.

Chances: None.
