Royal Rumble has always been a platform for surprise entrants

Royal Rumble is an upcoming pro-wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE, which is making a huge sound among the audience. It is scheduled to happen on January 28, 2018, at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As per the tradition, 30 WWE superstars randomly enter the ring, in ninety-second intervals, with each one trying to toss the other over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor.

The winner will be assured with a 'title shot' on WWE's top championship at WrestleMania. Presently, there are two top Championships, the WWE championship on SmackDown and the WWE Universal Championship on RAW

Another specialty, of the Royal Rumble, is that 'The Authority' doesn't reveal the complete list of participants, as there are some special surprise returns, who would likely return to participate in the ongoing Royal Rumble match. Here are such top-5 Wrestlers who would likely show up to the event (Royal Rumble)


#1 The Rock

The Rock is an Eight-time WWE champion

Former WWE Champion has still remained in our hearts, because of his graceful attitude as a wrestler, and as a versatile talent on the screen. Having seen the dominance, by some superstars like Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar these days in WWE, rumors are taking rounds, that the WWE team themselves, have approached if he (Rock) could take part in the upcoming Royal Rumble event.

However, 'The Rock' until now has clinched the victory at Royal Rumble for once, which even boosts his confidence, as he's been amazing in the ring even after getting retired.

#2 Bobby Lashley

He is a four-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion

One of the dominating and ruthless wrestlers we have ever seen in WWE is Bobby Lashley, his Wrestling moves, and physique are really amazing. The latest rumor is that he would make an entry into the Royal Rumble match, as a participant. The reasons for his sudden return might be, to make a come-back on WWE since he isn't seen, from past few years. Also, to re-conquer the WWE championship title, which he had lost to John Cena at 'The Great American Bash.' However, the official announcement has not yet been heard from the 'Player's side.

But the chances of Lashley's participation in Rumble-2018 are more. Reports, by a strong media person, suggests that Lashley was looking forward to making a great come-back to WWE in 2016, but he didn't find proper opportunity and was busy with TNA, where he is a four-time World heavyweight champion. Hope 2018, turns out to be a lucky one for Bobby Lashley

After all, he was once Vince McMahon's favorite wrestler and personal project in 2007. Hopefully a return ten years later is going to benefit him.

#3 Rob Van Dam

E
He is the only to have simultaneously the WWE and ECW World Championships

It's been a while since we have seen Rob Van Dam in-action, on WWE.The six-time Intercontinental Champion has set up his own benchmark on WWE, with his amazing wrestling skills and healthy attitude. Rob Van Dam, who often shows up on main-events like 'King of the Ring' and 'Royal Rumble', which are his strong zones, hasn't made his appearance after August 2014. Van Dam is now, the only superstar with the undefeated streak at WrestleMania.

At the age of 46, Rob Van Dam still is an aggressive, attacking wrestler, who once had taken-down great wrestlers like John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and Carlito. Having seen his devastating performance, in the first-ever elimination chamber match against Triple H, I would make one thing sure to everyone that, he will surely steal the show if he appears on the upcoming Royal Rumble 2018 event

#4 Goldberg

En
He is a three-time world champion and will be the first inductee of Hall of Fame 2018

Former WWE Universal Champion, who recently has returned to WWE, has already been officially declared as the first inductee for 'Hall of Fame 2018.' Last year at WrestleMania, Goldberg has faced Brock Lesnar, for WWE Universal Championship, though, he lost in the match, his energy and guts at the age of 51 was unbeatable.

However, Goldberg is, right now the only human on the Earth, to have held all three WWE titles namely: WWE Universal Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and WWE World Heavyweight Championship. In a recent Interview, Goldberg had hinted at his return to WWE. With reference to these words, off Goldberg, we could expect his appearance in the upcoming pay-per-view of WWE.

Anyway, by the end of this week, Goldberg himself will make an official announcement regarding his participation. Hope, we could see some great legends in the ring, this year

#5 Triple H

Will The King Of Kings make another surprise Rumble appearance?

He is one of the most influential and talented wrestlers in WWE, who has created his own mark in WWE. With his dangerous wrestling moves and immense talent, the 'CEO of WWE', has clinched the World Heavyweight Championship, for fourteen times and is widely renowned as 'The King of Kings.' He also has won the '1995 King of the Ring,' and the, '2002 and 2016 Royal Rumble matches.'

After losing his prominence in WWE, for taking some unacceptable decisions, which were partial in nature. Now, 'The King' himself is getting ready to make a great comeback, by clinching 'the victory at Royal Rumble' for the third time, which equals the record of 'Stone Cold Steve Austin' for most wins at Royal Rumble.

Hope, these Superstars show up this Sunday and reign in WWE.
