WWE Royal Rumble 2019: Rating Each Entrant's Chances Of Winning

11. Kofi Kingston

Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose
WWE Network

Wouldn't it be nice if WWE handed Kofi Kingston another sold singles push someday? He's been with the promotion for 400 years, held countless titles, is a record-breaking Tag Team Champion, always works hard, and now plays a key role in one of SmackDown's most bankable babyface acts.

The only way Kofi's going to get said push is if The New Day split, and the group's enduring popularity means that won't be happening anytime soon. Besides, we all know why he's in the Royal Rumble. This year's escape spot had better be on-par with last year's pancake-assisted springboard...

Chances: Extremely slim.
