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

3. John Cena

A weird one, this. John Cena probably isn't showing up on Sunday night. The Lars Sullivan programme is off, and Dave Meltzer has reported that Cena was never set to be in the Rumble in the first place. POST Wrestling's John Pollock now claims that inside sources don't expect him to be at the building at allon Sunday.

... but Cena's still listed for the Rumble, and if he does show up, he's a potential game-changer.

Big Match John has very much entered his career's banter era, and he'll be filming a film from February to April, but he's still John Cena. That 17th World Title won't win itself.

Chances: Favourable.
