With Chase Field hosting the most prolific event of the year, the creative team could be planning something huge to go down after facing tough competition from All Elite Wrestling.

Considering that many superstars have made the transition from NXT to the main roster, there's a genuine possibility that some of them could be making their first appearance in the prestigious match.

Moreover, on the other side, the company always graces this occasion with part-time stars who have made a name for themselves to bring more anticipation and interest as we progress towards the Road to WrestleMania 35.

While many of them could be getting their first opportunity at Chase Field, there are some icons who could be gracing the event for the very final time. So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 4 WWE superstars who could enter the Royal Rumble for the first time and 4 could be entering their last.


#1. Could enter for the first time - Samoa Joe

Destruction awaits us

Widely regarded as one of the biggest independent stars who made the transition to the WWE, Samoa Joe could be entering his first Royal Rumble this year.

Despite the fact that he is confirmed, the card is always subject to change and unfortunate injuries in the past have already sidelined the Destroyer from making his presence known in the last two years.

With the former NXT Champion currently dominating the scene on the blue brand, there's a legitimate chance that he would continue to bring the same pain in the Royal Rumble. While legions of WWE fans are disappointed with how the company have presented him, the Destroyer could be a real threat to many superstars when he enters the Chase Field.


#1. Could enter for the final time - Kurt Angle

Is this the final time?
Is this the final time?

There's no denying that Kurt Angle has achieved everything he could have had in the WWE, and the man still continues to earn the same respect he used to earlier in the day. However, the Olympic Gold Medalist's age has slowed him down with his in-ring quality becoming a little worrying at times for him and the storylines he is involved in.

Considering that his match against Dolph Ziggler at the Greatest Royal Rumble certainly brought light to his inability to move faster and making things more compelling within the squared circle.

Since the company is always adamant in bringing a major surprise to the show, WWE could be looking to bring Kurt Angle for the final time to grace the occasion with his presence and toss some superstars out of the game.

#2. Could enter for the first time - Shayna Baszler

If surprises are anything to take into consideration in the Royal Rumble, then it could be Shayna Baszler who could shock the entire world by making her presence known at Chase Field.

Similar to what Andrade 'Cien' Almas did last year, the NXT Women's Champion could make an appearance and run riot with the other 29 female competitors.

Currently engaged in a feud with Bianca Blair, there's also a possibility that the Queen of Spades could be dropping the gold to her and make a blockbuster entry at the Royal Rumble.

Entering the Royal Rumble would be a compelling way to bring her to the main roster and if the company is indeed serious about a Four Horsewomen storyline, then this could be the right way forward.


#2. Could enter for the final time - The Undertaker

Are we ready for this?
Are we ready for this?

The Undertaker is possibly one of the greatest wrestling stars of all time and the Phenom is still going strong despite suffering from endless amount of injuries.

However, the curtains could be closing down on the Deadman soon, with many predicting that this could be the very final time that the Undertaker steps inside the squared circle to fight.

Considering that the Phenom is rumoured to lock horns with Finn Balor at the Show of Shows, an appearance at the Royal Rumble could be an iconic way to kick things off.

His supernatural aura always entices the fans and would definitely give a huge boost to the company's current viewership numbers.

While it's a damn shame that the Phenom could be making his final Royal Rumble appearance this year, he will still be remembered for what he has accomplished in the business for generations to come.

#3. Could enter for the first time - Lars Sullivan

Will he finally make his debut?
Will he finally make his debut?

Despite the reports suggesting that Lars Sullivan could be in trouble after not showing on his scheduled dates with the WWE, the company could still be looking to push him to the moon once he finds it fit to appear.

Considering that the company is handling the situation very well, there's a genuine possibility that Sullivan could be making his main roster debut with the Royal Rumble.

He is rumoured to lock horns with John Cena at WrestleMania 35, and this could be the right time for the company to push the envelope with this feud.

There's no denying that Vince McMahon definitely sees a star in Lars Sullivan and will definitely push him to toss as many competitors as possible to ascend him to the top as a force to reckon with.


#3. Could enter for the final time - John Cena

Will he enter this for the final time?

John Cena is arguably the greatest performer in the wrestling business and could be entering Chase Field for the final time as a participant in the Men's Royal Rumble.

The Cenation Leader has currently shared some verbal altercations with Drew Mcintyre and is rumoured to square off against either him or Lars Sullivan at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

While Cena is always a strong contender to win the Royal Rumble, his part-time schedule has made it difficult for him to continue the tedious schedule of a full-time wrestler.

Considering that he is more involved as an actor in Hollywood, this could very well be the final time that the 16-time World Champion enlightens the crowd with his magnetic presence.

#4. Could enter for the first time - Mustafa Ali

He could genuinely make a solid impression

Another superstar who could be entering the Royal Rumble for the first time is Mustafa Ali who is making genuine waves on the blue brand with his athleticism and skills.

Considering that the company definitely went ahead with him on SmackDown Live when he pinned the WWE Champion in Daniel Bryan, WWE could be planning something big for Mustafa Ali in 2019.

After making the transition from 205 Live, Ali could certainly bring something brilliant to the table with his appearance and would be looking to get his hands on the WWE Champion again in 2019.

The Road to WrestleMania has never been an easy ride, but with Mustafa Ali determined to make a statement, he could very well end up being one of the iron-men of the Men's Royal Rumble match.


#4. Could enter for the final time - Batista

Will the Animal be unleashed?
Will the Animal be unleashed?

Another surprising superstar who could be making his presence known in the Road to WrestleMania 35 is none other than the former World Champion, Batista.

The Animal is reportedly rumoured to be locking horns with a major superstar in a marquee match at the Grandest Stage of Them All in New Jersey this year.

Since his rumoured match against Triple H could be cancelled, Batista could very well enter Arizona and light up the crowd with his heroic attitude and in-ring presence.

Despite winning the Royal Rumble twice, the Animal is loving life outside of the wrestling business and might genuinely consider retiring from professional wrestling after having a solid show at the Show of Shows.
