Jackass star Johnny Knoxville has been getting a fair bit of TV time on SmackDown to promote the group's new movie and make Sami Zayn's life a living hell. He even has a brand new t-shirt that claims he could become WWE Champion. Imagine the scenes if something like that ever happened.

Never say never.

Knoxville is a celebrity entrant in the men's Rumble match, which is bad enough for purists who hate such crossover moments. On the plus side, it won't chew up valuable minutes that'd be best-served getting full-time performers over, right? Right?! Well, not so fast. Ol' JK could be in the match for a while.

It's not inconceivable that he'll work the old Jerry Lawler spot of hiding under the ring, or clutch the bottom rope like Road Dogg did in 2000. Knoxville's segments on SmackDown have ranged from intolerable-forgivable, but some 20+ min run in the Royal Rumble would be enough to make blood boil.
