Last year saw NXT stars Adam Cole and Andrade 'Cien' Almas hop into the Royal Rumble. There'll almost certainly be another developmental representative in 2019, so why not tick two boxes and grab a guy featured prominently on the mainline black-and-gold brand and NXT UK?

Having just finished up on the British indies, Pete Dunne's leap into a full-time role may come sooner than you think. The Rumble would be a great spot to reintroduce him to the wider audience.
