4. The Rock - #27

The Rock WrestleMania
WWE

That copy about Cody Rhodes does not apply to The Rock.

If there are still fans out there who resent top stars for casually strolling into the Rumble at the expense of those who've been on TV in recent months, they won't boo the Rock. It isn't happening. The Rock is the Rock.

If he's in the Rumble - and Triple H will want to do everything possible to launch his first road to WrestleMania in monumental fashion - he's not entering an Iron Man performance. He's coming in late, he's hitting everybody in sight with the Rock Bottom, and, for that one last "rub", he's eliminating GUNTHER last.
