There is nothing quite like a surprise entry at the Royal Rumble. The atmosphere changes as the countdown from 10 begins. Fans in the stadium and around the world patiently wait to see what music plays and which superstar is coming out. This could be someone they were expecting, a returning star, or someone ready to make their debut.

The Rumble has been home to some surprise, roof-exploding entries over the years. This year, one star believes he can do the same at the #10 spot. As you know, the Rumble consists of 30 superstars all fighting for the chance to headline WrestleMania, so why the #10 spot? Shouldn’t they come out later?

Shawn Spears sends out a cryptic #10 ahead of the WWE Royal Rumble

Shawn Spears, a.k.a Tye Dillinger, was best known in the WWE for his “The Perfect 10” gimmick. He was a favorite among fans who could not stop chanting “10” at the star. The number became synonymous with him. As such, his one word response to a tweet about the upcoming Royal Rumble has sparked the interest of fans.

Dillinger, like all great WWE stars, began his career in OVW in 2006. He later moved up to ECW between 2008 and 2009. However, he would be released in 2009 to try his hand at the independent circuits.

In 2013, he made his return to the WWE in NXT, where he gained a massive fan following. He made his main roster debut representing SmackDown at the 2017 Royal Rumble at the #10 spot. Despite getting eliminated, he would remain with the WWE till 2019.
