5 superstars who can be the No. 30 entrant in the 2018 men’s Royal Rumble match 

#3 Hot NXT prospects

Will WWE give their future a chance to shine?

At the 2018 edition of the Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe will witness a new landscape of superstars in the January multi-man spectacle. The 30 competitors in the prestigious battle royal will include the usual rumble regulars, returning veterans and hot NXT talent. WWE’s ‘developmental’ show has recruited the greatest talents from around the world and made them into bona fide breakout main roster talent. However, some NXT veterans have not seen their success down at Full Sail replicated on the main roster.

NXT royalty such as Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bobby Roode are making their Royal Rumble debuts this year. Even with all that tremendous talent involved, through absurd booking and poor character development, these once molten hot megastars debuting in the Royal Rumble match at number 30 will not be the ground-breaking moment it could have been.

However, Full Sail’s current trailblazing superstars have pushed NXT to unimaginable heights, and have given the yellow brand the opportunity to surpass Raw and Smackdown Live on more than one occasion. Although WWE will opt to select a veteran for the number 30 spot, superstars such as The Velveteen Dream, Lars Sullivan, Aleister Black, and a plethora of talented NXT megastars will benefit from this attention-grabbing spotlight. This can be a defining moment in their WWE careers, that will turn them from breakout talent to future WWE assets.
