WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting All 30 Entrants

22. Tye Dillinger

WWE have no interest in doing anything with Tye Dillinger.

He was white-hot coming out of the 2017 Rumble, but 'The Perfect 10' has become a non-entity on SmackDown, and is lucky if he's even invited to television most weeks. December 26th's loss to Jinder Mahal was his first televised appearance in close to three months. This mean's there's a chance he won't be included in the Rumble, but these bouts always need a few low-level players to pad certain wrestlers' elimination counts, and Dillinger would be an effective choice.

It's a shame, but Tye's slide is undeniable.
