WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Predicting All 30 Entrants

3. Dominik Mysterio

There's a fair chance Dom Dom's plums will need a Rumble entry of their own by the time 1 February rolls around. They'll still be smarting after ex-lover Rhea Ripley scored three points by booting them straight through the uprights on Raw's Netflix bow. In story, that was precisely what the little snake deserved, but he'll still slither out for the 30-man fave nonetheless.

It's fun to picture Mysterio jawing off with Cena and proclaiming that old wasters like JC need to get the hell out of the way so young lions like he and LP can save the day. That, all going well, would lead to Cena ejecting Dominik like this is the 1998 Rumble and his name is Tom Brandi.

OK, maybe not that quickly. It might be better if Mysterio hangs around for longer than a few seconds. Don't call him Santino!

4. Jimmy Uso

You've got to feel kinda sorry for Jimmy Uso. He really tries to get his "Big Jim" stuff over, but only a fool would deny that his singles work pales in comparison to brother Jey. Together, they're one of the best tag-teams going. Individually, it's fair to say Jimmy needs Jey more than 'Main Event' needs him. They didn't even mesh well as rivals back at 'Mania.

Regardless, Jimmy would still get a solid pop if he entered the Rumble as #4.

WWE might need to start bringing things down a tad following the excitement of John Cena's arrival and his work opposite hated heels Paul and Mysterio. Jimmy would be the perfect guy to bridge that gap without being a lowly nobody who'd get old Kofi Kingston-style "who?!" chants from the audience instead of a decent reaction. Can't have that this early in the match, people.
