25. Baron Corbin
Corbin had a strong showing early in the Rumble and got a victory over Tye Dillinger, but he has no direction and that doesn't seem to change anytime soon.
24. Kevin Owens
In the title match against AJ Styles, Kevin Owens got screwed out of the title again. To make matters worse, Zayn left him stranded in their tag match on SmackDown.
23. Ronda Rousey
In one of many moments that broke Twitter this week, Rousey made her surprise WWE debut to close out the Royal Rumble, foreshadowing that she will be at WrestleMania.
22. Sami Zayn
Zayn got screwed in the title match at the Rumble and finally had enough when he abandoned Owens at ringside during a match.
21. The Revival
The Revival scored two wins this week after being knocked down a peg at Raw 25, but they weren't at their best in either match.
20. The Riott Squad
All three members had a great showing in the Rumble, with Ruby lasting the longest and Logan doing the most damage. They set their sights back on Charlotte on SmackDown.
19. Titus Worldwide
WWE has finally given Titus Worldwide their crack at the gold and they did not disappoint. They lost the title match, but prove they can be a championship team.
18. Sasha Banks
She lasted the longest in the first Women's Rumble match and got a match with the eventual winner on Raw, but she lost and had a scary moment that could have ended her career if she had gotten injured.
17. The Bludgeon Brothers
The big men squashed another team, but there was some teasing on the ramp that foreshadows a possible title match with The Usos in the near future.
16. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin
The Usos scored back to back pins to retain the belts over Gable and Benjamin. They bounced back with a win over Breezango.
15. Finn Balor
Finn Balor started the Rumble and lasted the longest and ended up as one of the final four before being eliminated by Cena. On Raw, Balor lost again to Cena in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
14. Elias
He had some big moments on Sunday in the Rumble match, but he gets another chance in the spotlight at the Elimination Chamber after beating Matt Hardy.
13. Carmella
She didn't win the Rumble, but she did attempt to cash-in on a battered Charlotte on SmackDown. Sadly, her attack missed and she hit the referee and the match never started.
12. Bobby Roode
Roode beat Mojo Rawley on the Royal Rumble Pre-Show and now Rusev is his new contender. Roode needs to legitimize himself as a worthy champion or Rusev will run over him.
11. Charlotte Flair
She may have to face Asuka at WrestleMania, she got attacked by The Riott Squad and put up quite the fight, and escaped Carmella's cash-in with her title in hand.
10. John Cena
Cena made it to the final three in the Rumble, but got a clean win over Finn Balor to compete at Elimination Chamber. This would have been a better week for him if it wasn't for the fact that the WWE Universe hates him for beating Balor twice.
9. Rusev
Rusev Day could come early this year, as Rusev won a Fatal 4-way to be the new number one contender for Roode's US title.
8. The Miz
Roman Reigns got another rematch for his title, but The Miz used his antics to score another victory over Roman. He could be on a crash course with Finn Balor next at WrestleMania.
7. The Usos
It is common in a 2-out-of-3 falls match for it to be 2-1. The Usos instead scored back-to-back falls to retain their belts. However, The Bludgeon Brothers could be next up.
6. The Bar
Jason Jordan was injured early on and it allowed The Bar to capture the titles and they even retained them a day later against Titus and Apollo.
5. Braun Strowman
He lost the brawl at the Rumble, but he destroyed Kane in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
4. AJ Styles
He technically didn't pin the right man, but he was awarded the victory anyways. Now that Nakamura won the Rumble and chose to battle him, AJ Styles will get a dream match at WrestleMania.
3. Brock Lesnar
The Universal Champion outlasted Braun and pinned Kane to remain champion.
2. Shinsuke Nakamura
He outlasted Roman Reigns and erupted the WWE Universe when he won the Royal Rumble match. Styles vs Nakamura will steal the show at the Grandest Stage.
1. Asuka
The undefeated streak continues. Asuka won the first female Rumble match, but her spotlight was stolen by Ronda Rousey.
Do you think anyone should be listed differently?
