Entrant #9: Sid Vicious

 

Sid entered the Royal Rumble at #9, good news for HHH who was struggling to keep himself alive, defending himself against the Undertaker and the British Bulldog. When Sid got in the ring, he targeted the Britsh Bulldog. The Englishman cost him his Intercontinental Match against Razor Ramon on RAW a couple of weeks back. He almmost eliminated him, but the countdown distracted Sid enough to let the British Bulldog alive for a least a couple seconds.
