Why would anyone voluntarily enter the ring at any point?
I watched a few older rumbles last week and in some of them the managers were allowed to be at ringside as long as their guy was still in the rumble, but then I believe there were others where managers were not allowed to stick around.
You would think more factions would come down to help each other. AJ Styles had his guy help this year and last year Rollins had Murphy and AOP come down with him and basically help eliminate a few people and save Rollins at one point, so some of them do it.
Of course it is also just illogical that when a tag team or members of a stable just start fighting each other when there are many other people still in. Many times there are 4 people left, 2 good friends and one of them decides to turn on the other, dump them out and then take on the other 2 guys by themselves. It happened last year with Edge eliminating Orton after teaming up together. If I remember correctly its Edge, McIntyre, Orton, and Reigns left and Edge does a surprise elimination of Orton so that he can then be up against two guys much bigger than himself with no ally. Makes no sense.
