WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Predicting All 17 Wrestlers Not Yet Announced

Men's Rumble

8. Bron Breakker

While there's currently no confirmation that either man will be in the Royal Rumble, Bron Breakker and Gunther will reportedly be onsite in St. Louis, Missouri, increasing the chances of the men's bout having NXT 2.0 representation.

Breakker is a natural pick. The young Steiner offspring is only a handful of matches into his pro wrestling career but has already been installed as the developmental brand's top guy. A big, beefy boy with similar presence to father Rick and uncle Scott, he'll go stratospheric in a prominent main roster role before long, as his athleticism, size, and pedigree seem to align perfectly for Vince McMahon's tastes.

Putting Bron in the Rumble necessitates him throwing a couple of lower-ranked goobers out at the very least. That's easy enough - there'll be plenty of tag wrestlers and midcard fodder for him to launch out.
