WWE Royal Rumble 2026: Predicting All 30 Entrants

11. Dominik Mysterio (#20)

It must be good to be Dominik Mysterio right now. He shed the nepotism cries a long, long time ago, but 'Dirty Dom' has been receiving plaudits for his Eddie Guerrero 'lie, cheat, steal' style during matches, and he's even threatened to bust out as one of the most unlikely babyfaces of the modern era.

WWE will continue to push Mysterio as someone worth watching when he shows up mid-Rumble. The announcers can hype his entrance as #20 and claim it gives Dominik time to get his feet wet without having to exhaust himself by swimming upstream from the start.

Hey, a story is a story, and the Rumble needs plenty of little narratives like that.

It probably won't happen, but someone somewhere will have Dom Dom down as a shock winner come 31 January in Saudi.
