WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Predicting All 30 Entrants

29. Jey Uso

'Main Event' Jey Uso had a memorable 2024. He won the Intercontinental Title as a singles star and got the band back together with brother Jimmy and the rest of The Bloodline. It was all love for Jey. Has he stalled more recently? Maybe a wee bit, but 2025 promises to deliver more of the same good vibes he was enjoying before that. Another midcard title reign isn't out of the question, put it that way.

Uso isn't a focal point during the Rumble, right enough. He's the type of wrestler who can enter late and be called "dangerous" by Michael Cole whilst actually doing pretty much nothing. OK, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that sucks, but not every single entrant can be the main man. Some have to take what they can get, and Jey is in that bracket this year.

He'll be fine, so don't sweat it. Better days are coming back around again soon.

30. Big E

This is the kind of shock entry that'll flare the nostrils of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods so much their angry breathing might get picked up by backstage microphones. The New Day pair viciously cut Big E to pieces on Raw a while back, and they've since been cast as heels confused by the backlash from fans. If E does miraculously launch a comeback at the Rumble, they'd be seething.

So much so that they'd immediately come to ringside and make sure he didn't win.

Heat would be off the charts if Kofi and Woods ripped E's moment away from him. Picture this: E is visibly crying tears of joy at the thought of getting to wrestle again. Then, after running through a few basic spots in-ring (WWE must be real careful with the guy), his ex-New Day brethren come out and eliminate him despite never officially being in the match themselves.

That's heel 101, and it must happen if E is healthy enough to work a bump or two.
