WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants

20. John Cena

Not a bad lineup so far, but our Rumble match could really use some star power. Enter John Cena, who declared himself this week.

A non-entity at Survivor Series, 'Big Match John' will enter the bout on the back of a year that saw him seemingly slip out of the main event spotlight once and for all, though he's still among WWE's biggest stars.

Cena shouldn't be winning at this stage in his career. Doing so isn't completely out of the question, but the 16-time World Champion already has one eye on retirement, and will likely play a supplementary role.
