WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants

16. Kofi Kingston

It wouldn't be the Royal Rumble without an outrageous Kofi Kingston escape spot. Sure, The New Day man's last few attempts haven't been particularly memorable, but they've become an essential part of the bout's makeup, and it'd be a huge surprise if he was omitted.

Kingston will be competing in his 11th Rumble in Philly. He put forth an ineffective performance last year, failing to score a single elimination in 16 minutes, and it's hard to see him being anything more than a crowd-popper this time around. Regardless, we're itching to see what kind of zany escape act he has planned.
