With the WWE Royal Rumble coming up it's hard not to cast a keen yet somewhat AFL coloured eye to the 30-man event.
Does your club have any potential WWE Superstars inside their four walls? And if so, which Superstar do they most remind you of?
We take a look at which player from each AFL team could make his way to the ring after that familiar countdown and buzzer.
Adelaide: Ben Keays - Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler has a truly unique look to his character that is unmatched in the WWE universe. However, in the AFL, Ben Keays goes mighty close. These two couldn't be further away in terms of their personalities with Ziggler a smooth moving pretty boy. But the look is not a long way off.
Brisbane: Mitch Robinson - Kevin Owens
Robinson has a mad streak in him that will see him do anything to win. Kevin Owens is much the same. Owens will go to extraordinary lengths to get a win whether it be with good or bad intentions.
Carlton: Harry McKay - The Undertaker
Much like The Undertaker, McKay is so far, the dominant member of his family. Undertaker teamed with his brother Kane for a part of his career but the duo also shared many titanic matches as opponents. Something we hope to see the McKay twins do in the future.
15 years ago today @undertaker won the 2007 #RoyalRumble, becoming the first @WWE Superstar to win from the No. 30 position โฑ๏ธ

Collingwood: Mason Cox - Omos
Omos is a giant. In every sense of the word. He is a colossal man who dwarfs those around him. He isn't always the most coordinated character, but Omos is an attraction. When cox is at his best, he fits that mould. Cox also has the charisma to engage the fans without a doubt.
Essendon: Jake Stringer - Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is the package. He has it all. Speed, size, strength and ability. If you ask Brian Taylor, Jake Stringer has all of those things and more. There is a slight resemblance between the pair as well.
Fremantle: Alex Pearce - Roman Reigns
While it's doubtful Alex Pearce's teammates call him their "Trible Chief", there's no doubt he resembles the man who sits at the head of the table. Long hair and a luscious beard are common traits that bring these two together.
Geelong: Zach Tuohy- Sheamus
The Irish are a strong people. And make no mistake, Sheamus and Zach Tuohy are hard as nails. The Celtic connection is enough for Tuohy to represent the Cats.
Gold Coast: Ben King
WWE love a King of the Ring. And often the winner of that tournament goes on to have the word "King" added to their name. The Gold Coast forward could save everyone some time on that front and would be a valid "King of the Ring".

GWS: Toby Greene - Seth Rollins
GWS' resident karate kid is one that people love to hate. He is talented and no doubt one of the best going around. But his actions on-field at times can cause those against him to lose their cool. Seth Rollins can have the exact same impact on the WWE universe.
Hawthorn: James Sicily - The Miz
Touted as a possible future captain of the Hawks, Siciliy is a player that opposition players - and fans - love to hate. Much like The Miz, the mercurial forward-turned-defender is very good on his day. But also like The Miz, he's arguably better at talking smack to his opponents and seems to embrace being the 'bad guy'.
Melbourne: Max Gawn - Big Show
This one speaks for itself - at 208cm, just 5cm off The Big Show, the premiership captain is one of the biggest men to have played in the AFL. However, the pair share much more than their height - Gawn is one of the best players in the competition, while The Big Show is a seven-time world champion. Both can grow a reasonable beard, too. Good luck to anyone trying to get these two over the top rope.
North Melbourne: Ben McKay - Kane
The other half of 'The Brothers of Destruction'. The Undertaker was the bigger drawcard in the WWE and, as the reigning Coleman Medalist, Harry McKay is currently the bigger drawcard in the AFL. But that shouldn't take away from the hulking North defender, who is more than capable of holding his own on the field - or in the ring. If the McKay brothers were to team up, they'd be every bit as intimidating as The Undertaker and Kane.
Port Adelaide: Xavier Duursma - Ric Flair
While age separates the pair - Flair is some 51 years older than Duursma and made his wrestling debut 28 years before Duursma was born - they both have a penchant for the theatrical. Flair's trademark 'wooo' is one of the most iconic in wrestling history, while Duursma made headlines in the early stages of his AFL career with the 'bow and arrow' celebration.

Richmond: Dustin Martin - Randy Orton
The pair are one of the most recognisable faces in their respective industries, not to mention physically imposing superstars. A triple premiership player and Brownlow medallist, Martin is the only player in history to win the Norm Smith Medal three times. Orton, at the age of 24, became the youngest world champion in WWE history when winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
St Kilda: Dan Hannebery - John Cena
Sorry Saints fans, but we couldn't help ourselves here. In his prime, Hannebery was one of the biggest names in the AFL - a three-time All-Australian, he won the AFL Coaches' Association Player of the Year award in 2015. However, since moving to St Kilda at the end of 2018, injuries have restricted the running machine to just 15 AFL games in three seasons. As John Cena's catch-cry goes; "You can't see me!"
On this day 14 years ago, @JohnCena made his epic return from a torn pectoral injury at the #RoyalRumble ๐ฅ
Still one of the greatest Rumble moments of all-time.

Sydney: Lance Franklin - The Rock
'Buddy', despite being in the twilight of his career, is still the no.1 blockbuster player in the AFL. The old saying is that no player is bigger than the game, but Buddy goes close - a genuine excitement machine, many tune in just to watch him play. Dwayne Johnson built his brand as wrestling superstar The Rock before becoming an actor. In 2021, he was the highest-paid actor in the world. It's hard to compare anyone to The Rock, but Buddy is the closest we've got.
West Coast Eagles: Nic Naitanui - Booker T
A man mountain with athleticism to boot, 'Nic Nat' was the obvious pick to represent West Coast in the ring. His dreadlocks are as well-known as his footballing ability, and superstar Booker T would have to be the best-known dreadlocked wrestler in history. Not to mention Nic Nat is probably the only player who could probably pull off Booker's 'spinaroonie'.
Western Bulldogs: Bailey Smith - Shawn Michaels
The Bulldogs youngster overtook Dustin Martin as the AFL's most-followed player in late 2021, and his parallels with Shawn Michaels are obvious. Michaels himself is one of the biggest names in the WWE, while both have luscious long locks - although it's fair to say Michaels' best hair days are behind him! If that's not enough, Michaels was known as the 'Heartbreak Kid' - a fitting nickname for the devilishly-handsome Smith!
