WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting All 30 Entrants

21. Ricky Saints (#10)

From one charismatic, self-made star who makes the best of everything handed to him to...another. Ricky Saints must be thanking his lucky stars that Tony Khan froze him out of AEW, because now he's riding high on NXT and has real potential to make a splash on either Raw or SmackDown in the near future.

Originally, Ethan Page was earmarked for this position (known as the 'Tye Dillinger Perfect 10' position, for the record), but nah - let's give it to slick Rick instead. He's earned the chance to show main roster fans what he's capable of, and closing the first third of the Rumble's lineup with somebody fired up and motivated to impress sounds like a plan.

Lord knows how long Saints would get in the match, but simply being involved in such a prestigious match gives him something to shout about.
