This is the biggest of the biggies for many fans.

WWE would have to jump through some hoops when freeing the mad busy Dwayne Johnson from his Hollywood commitments and other business ventures, but they've got quite the carrot to dangle in front of The Rock. Win the Rumble, and he'd be guaranteed a match vs. Roman Reigns comes WrestleMania.

Yes, yes that would stomp all over Cody Rhodes' own bid to "finish [his] story", but Rocky stepping on toes is far from impossible considering his recent "Head Of The Table" promo on Raw. The company's top brass could view Dwayne working Roman as the biggest marquee match imaginable, and they don't have too many more chances to do it whilst The Bloodline story is ongoing.

If The Rock does enter the Royal Rumble, then he's probably winning it. Let's be honest there. He isn't coming all the way to do the J.O.B unless Reigns performs a run-in and costs him the chance (or something wild like that).

Who else could be a surprise entrant come WWE's 2024 Royal Rumble? For more wrestling, check out WWE 2K24: 10 Rumours You Need To Know and Flawed Wrestlers Who Became GREAT Human Beings!
