WWE Royal Rumble 2020: Rating Each Entrant's Chances Of Winning

13. Rusev

Rusev is over again. While his comeback initially felt like a wet fart, the love square between him, Lana, Bobby Lashley, and Liv Morgan has somehow restored his popularity to a level comparable to Rusev Day. It isn't quite on that level, but it's not a million miles away from it either.

The problem with this storyline is that even those who have learned to laugh at its trashy soap opera stylings are going to lose interest in it as it drags on. It hasn't yet, which means Rusev isn't a complete Rumble bust, even if he'd be a huge surprise.

Chances: Slim.
