It’s in Philly. If you don’t think at least one ECW alumni will be in it, you a fool. Yeah, I'm hoping we get one or two at least. Dreamer is a safe choice. Sandman with his actual music would be epic. If EC3 or Lashley show up I'll be flabbergasted.

Hopefully no one. I hate gimmick returns. You have jinxed us all...prepare for the Max Mercury at number 29.

Probably Bubba Ray or Tommy Dreamer to get the ECW pop, but I think that's about it.

Speaking of ECW alumni how about 911? Imagine Edgar Winter's Frankenstein blaring with him coming in and chokeslamming a few ham n eggers.

On the men's side I don't really expect much but my personal picks would be 2 surprise entrants and an NXT guy showing up. Furthermore, my picks as surprise entrants would be The Undertaker and Sting. Remember Sting even said himself that at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony speech that it was not going to be the last we saw of Sting and Sting has never been in a Royal Rumble Match. Sting showing up as a surprise entrant if not for a one-time only deal would be perfect and Taker showing up has to all but be guaranteed. The NXT superstar who I would have in the match would be Adam Cole of The Undisputed Era.
For the women's side surprise entrants for me would be Victoria, Lita and definitely Trish Stratus. However if they don't show up I would go Molly Holly, Torrie Wilson and Alundra Blayze.

I don't think last year had any. I figure that trend will continue

If there are no surprise entrants in either Royal Rumble Match then personally I wouldn't be opposed to that. However, on the other hand having surprise entrants in not just the men's match but in the women's match too just adds to the excitement of the respective matches wouldn't you agree?

Batista seems convincing.
I really want to see an angle pitched with The Rock and Batista. If Batista can have a stand-still moment with The Rock at Rumble that'd be greaat

Batista is as much a mega star in Hollywood now than The Rock currently is right now and look at Batista's run in Hollywood lately with movies like Blade Runner 2049 or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. However, the last time Big Dave was in a WWE ring the fans cared a lot less when he originally returned to WWE in 2014. Fast forward to 2018 and it being 4 years later if he were to come back what kind of a reception would he really get?

Bobby lashely! I don’t think EC3 is as likely because he doesn’t have the same stake that Lashley had in the company.

Fast forward to 2018 and it being 4 years later if he were to come back what kind of a reception would he really get? With all due respect, putting the Rock and big Dave Hollywood careers on par is just a flat out wrong. The Rock is a “leading man” in film after film. And while Batista has found success, (most notably as Drax) he isn’t anywhere near the mega star the rock is in Hollywood (or WWE for that matter) As for a return of Batista - I tend to agree that it would be well received, but would heavily depend on his program and whom he wrestled. He isnt any younger and I remember him being gased pretty quickly on his last run. But he could hide in the Rumble, so that would work. I expect we will see Nash, Triple H (Is that a suprise), Batista, Taker and maybe Sting as a long shot. That’s 5 spots, don’t think they use anymore then that. On the women’s side, I think the Bella’s return, Lita, Trish and maybe Torrie Wilson.
