8. Zack Ryder

Ryder hasn't appeared in a Royal Rumble since 2015, when he was eliminated by Bray Wyatt in just 34 seconds. He wouldn't be anywhere near this year's bout if not for Monday Night Raw, when he ran out to save former partner Curt Hawkins as The Revival put the boots to him, seemingly reuniting the Edgeheads.

They're going to beat Dash and Dawson soon. The internet will hate that, but perhaps Zack will get a nice pop if he appears in the 2019 Royal Rumble. It's been a while since he's had a fun WWE moment.
