Every male participant announced for the Royal Rumble as of today

Mustafa Ali, R Truth, Rey Mysterio

Mustafa Ali has been on fire since joining Smackdown Live

Mustafa Ali has been booked as a near main-event star since he joined Smackdown Live recently. He's had great matches with AJ Styles, Andrade Almas, Daniel Bryan and just about anyone else he gets in the ring with.

He'll be entering his first Rumble match and will probably provide some highlight-reel moments during his match tenure.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

R Truth has seen a resurgence in popularity ever since he mistook Maryse and Carmella. It led to a Mixed Match Challenge tournament win as well as higher-profile matches with the likes of the Miz, Daniel Bryan, and Almas.

Since he won the Mixed Match Challenge with Carmella, he holds the coveted #30 spot in the rumble. Will he squander it or could it lead to bigger things?

Rey Mysterio returned in last year's Rumble match and is always welcomed back with open arms. He lasted until the final six before being eliminated by Finn Balor. How will he fare this year?
