WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants

18. Heath Slater

Former SmackDown Tag Team Champion Heath Slater wouldn't be anywhere near our list if not for the past few weeks, which have seen partner Rhyno attempt to toughen up the 'One Man Band' following a lengthy string of losses.

Granted, it's a lower-card spotlight, but a spotlight nonetheless. Slater is back on television in a regular role, and his chances of participating in the Rumble have gone through the roof as a result.

As one of the most effective enhancement talents in the business, it'd be foolish to expect anything other than ritual humiliation for Heath, much to his burly cohort's chagrin.
