The Ideal 30-Man Lineup For This Month's Royal Rumble


Looks like John Cena and Randy Orton will be squaring off for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble (Sunday, January 26).   It doesn't mean they can't be in the Rumble, but for the purposes here I am going to keep them out.

One of the best parts of the Rumble every year is the old dudes they trot back out there.  (Diesel and Booker T got the loudest ovations a few year's back when I was at the event in Boston.)  So, I throw in a couple of old-school guys with the current-school (?) guys and see if we can get the 30 most deserving/ entertaining wrestlers going... This is my wish list, as of now.  And not the order they'd enter, I don't care who comes in when...


  1. CM Punk
  2. Daniel Bryan
  3. Bray Wyatt
  4. Luke Harper
  5. Erick Rowan
  6. Dean Ambrose
  7. Seth Rollins
  8. Roman Reigns
  9. Goldust
  10. Cody Rhodes
  11. Dolph Ziggler
  12. Big E Langston
  13. Damien Sandow
  14. Big Show
  15. Ryback
  16. Mark Henry
  17. Rey Mysterio
  18. Kofi Kingston
  19. Brodus Clay
  20. Antonio Cesaro
  21. Kane
  22. Batista
  23. Brock Lesnar
  24. Triple H
  25. Chris Jericho
  26. Sheamus
  27. Alberto Del Rio
  28. Bo Dallas
  29. Shawn Michaels
  30. Vince McMahon
Boom. Best 30-man Rumble money could pay for.  No need to trot out the likes of The Miz, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett, or Curtis Axel.  I'll pass on those scrubs.
