WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Predicting All 30 Entrants

23. Bray Wyatt

The Fiend Royal Rumble
WWE.com

'The Fiend' is the biggest surprise entrant WWE could realistically pull off this year.

Dwayne Johnson isn't realistic. Neither is Steve Austin or any other wacky all-time names that might come up at this time of year. Wyatt, however, is. Enough time has passed now for the supposed heat over his and Vince McMahon's "creative differences" to pass, he hasn't signed for another promotion, and beyond that, it's difficult to see where he even fits in wrestling outside of WWE.

It's the perfect platform for his brand of wackiness - and Bray showing up would pop his fanbase huge.
