WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Predicting All 30 Entrants
19. Braun Strowman
Enter the next monstrous foe that Triple H can utilise to make Jacob Fatu look like the shark from Jaws. Braun Strowman's return has led to mixed results in matches against Carmelo Hayes and Austin Theory, but he'll always get a response from fans when surfacing in the Royal Rumble. That'll be doubly true if he's marching out to deal with the growing confidence of Jacob.
Like Goldberg, Braun must fall to the might of Fatu. That's important here - WWE have to prioritise. Jacob is someone they're building. Goldberg doesn't exactly need to be shined up for any match in 2025, and Strowman is another who'd survive being punted over the ropes to the floor. Sacrificing two powerhouses to build one would be smart.
Easy shift for Braun, which nobody can be mad at.
20. LA Knight
Some entrance tracks feed fan excitement, and LA Knight's is one of them. It cleverly says his name before going into a beat so recognisable it reminds one of the open to GTA: San Andreas. Convenient, because Knight would be walking into Ballas territory by staring down both Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. He's had issues with both in the past, so this would make perfect sense.
Shinsuke Nakamura probs wouldn't still be lingering around in the match, but if he is then LA can side step the mist (it can catch someone else and cause their elimination) and start hammering away on the guy who took "his" United States Title. A rematch for the belt might've already happened by the time the Rumble goes live. Either way, they can trade some moves.
That's when the Rumble's first big surprise would roll out next.
