If someone like O'Brian or Harper or Kruger with a complex gimmick got in, was introduced to the world at the rumble, but then not seen again until after Mania it would be kind of strange.
With Pac or Woods. He can enter it as an unknown, an NXT rookie given a shot to impress. Do something amazing that the fans are gonna remember and then when they debut after Mania they can replay his entrant into the rumble to rekindle fans memories and build on from that interest solely out of one amazing moment i.e. PAC delivering a corkscrew star press.
Based solely on the way a rumble works, and who could shine the most, I'd love to see either Harper or the Man that Gravety Forgot enter. Either could do a few memorable spots to shine during the rumble, and then leave to have the replays show the skill when they actually debut.
I have to admit though, I love Kruger's persona and accent, and Graves is pretty kewl too. I like the future of the WWE. It's promising ... you know, if they book it right! :P

Now I'm even more excited! Oh my god!
Of course I hope awesome O'Brian will make it!
But I'm okay with Kruger or Neville, too!
I think in the end it's Bo Dallas or Woods...
Maybe they have other plans for Ohno or soemthing...
O'Brian is a good choice to win this.
Imagine the buzzer going off and it goes dark, people wouldn't know how to react.
He would certainly get everybody's attention!!
If not, I would go with Adrian Neville for the spotz.
A great way to debut him against well known guys by hitting some high flying moves to gain interest.
I imagine it will be PAC. He can go in do some crazy spot, and instantly be remembered. The other guys people have mentioned, have quite complex characters, so they wouldn't really benefit from just being in the rumble and doing nothing impressive.
