Unpredictable Showdown: Predicting the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match

#7. Grayson Waller has not been on the same page as the former United States Champion recently, so expect some miscommunication between the two at the Royal Rumble. Nevertheless, the Australian could have a decent showing before that.

Carmelo Hayes. Not officially a SmackDown-exclusive star, Carmelo Hayes has recently been feuding with Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. He can overcome them in the Rumble before impressing WWE fans. The former NXT Champion has a bright future. However, following this weekend, Hayes might shift his focus back to Tuesday nights. He and Trick Williams could go far in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, while a rivalry between the two has been teased for a while. #5. Brock Lesnar. Onto the surprises, and let's get this one out of the way early. It's a bit dicey. WWE has been planning Brock Lesnar's return, with the Royal Rumble reportedly proposed as the target date. However, following his implied inclusion in the Vince McMahon lawsuit, The Beast Incarnate might not return this weekend. So, if WWE decides to pull his potential Rumble return, Lesnar's spot should go to one of the competitors in the Fatal Four-Way match. Randy Orton or LA Knight could be enraged at losing due to Bloodline interference and demand entry in the Rumble. Both would guarantee a pop, even if they perform double duty. #4. Rey Mysterio. Last seen in WWE at the start of November, Rey Mysterio targeted the Royal Rumble as his return date from knee surgery. He is rumored to be backstage at the event, which likely means a return to action for the masked legend. Mysterio has unfinished business with Santos Escobar, whose merciless attack wrote the WWE Hall of Famer off television. He could eliminate the former LWO member before getting eliminated by his son, Dominik. #3. Sheamus. Whenever a WWE Superstar teases a Royal Rumble return ahead of time, it usually never happens. However, a double swerve is always possible. What if Sheamus shows up on Saturday with his old theme song? The Celtic Warrior is approaching legendary status, so fans would be delighted to see him. Sheamus last wrestled in mid-August and has since been out with a shoulder injury. So, as long as he's cleared, the Irishman should be in the Rumble match. #2. Bad News Barrett. This would be a fun surprise. Wade Barrett hasn't wrestled in WWE since April 2016, so a return at the Royal Rumble would definitely feel fresh. It isn't too far-fetched, as the RAW commentator is usually on the road for the company anyway. Whether he is calling the 30-man match or not, Barrett should come to the ring and deliver some "bad news" and a few Bullhammer Elbows. The Rumble has had many fun cameos over the years, with this potentially adding to the collection. #1. Sami Zayn. Depending on what happens with Brock Lesnar, Sami Zayn might have the biggest return in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. He hasn't appeared on WWE television since Drew McIntyre viciously assaulted him backstage at the start of December. Zayn did return for WWE's Holiday Tour, but that's about it. The Rumble would be the perfect time for him to come back, potentially restarting his feud with McIntyre. The two could have a grudge match at WrestleMania 40, with Sami Zayn finally beating The Scottish Warrior. However, for now, the Canadian star could make a significant impact at the Royal Rumble. In another year, Sami would've been the perfect winner as well.
