#2 – Lars Sullivan
If there is any surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble match that should happen, it is Lars Sullivan.
Lars Sullivan has been advertised to be called up to WWE’s main roster since Survivor Series. Though he has not been seen since, he seems to be very close to his inevitable debut. Sullivan was reportedly supposed to make his main roster debut weeks ago to set up a match at Wrestlemania with John Cena. That did not happen due to an alleged panic attack from Lars Sullivan.
With Lars’ original plans scrapped, it could very well clear a way for him to make his main roster debut this Sunday in the Royal Rumble match. Having Lars in the match could give him a strong showing and could make him a strong focal point on RAW or Smackdown for the Wrestlemania season.
