[Solid Snake]

CM Punk (#1 entrant)
* Jimmy Uso
* Jey Uso
* Damien Sandow
* Erick Rowan
* Luke Harper

* Fandango
* Rey Mysterio
* Batista
* Alberto Del Rio

So only 9 guys left for surprises... I am sticking with saying Sheamus will be one. Evan Bourne for another spot. Maybe Christian or Jericho.

Jimmy Wang Yang is teasing an appearance on twitter.

Corey Graves from NXT teased an appearance, doubt it though.
For some reason Bad News Barrett's name was removed from the RR Participants list, althoughtI'm pretty sure he announced last Main Event that he was going to participate.

 

[TNAries]

Been hearing many things about Rob Van Dam being ready to compete since like back in late December.. Highly doubtful he'll win it but hey I'm RVD fan so it'd be nice to see a surprise return out of him.
Sheamus is like a no brainer to return, I can't think of any legitimate reasons the WWE would have for holding him out of the RR.

Aren't they doing that NXT Tournament for a Rumble spot again?

Aren't they doing that NXT Tournament for a Rumble spot again?

Not from what I read about the tapings, they would've had to done it last week and this week but there has been no talk of it. I think they're just going to not do that, and maybe just let one participate.. There has been talks of Corey Graves being one of the random competitors, that'd be interesting because he's a Pitt Native which is where the RR is taking place.. but then again who knows they may just leave it for the main roster superstars & legends although, if Rusev was in there I would not mind that ONE bit

The following 25 superstars are advertised for the Royal Rumble match:

1. Batista
2. Alberto Del Rio
3. Big E Langston
4. The Miz
5. R-Truth
6. Xavier Woods
7. Kofi Kingston
8. Cody Rhodes
9. Goldust
10. Rey Mysterio
11. CM Punk
12. Fandango
13. Jey Uso
14. Seth Rollins
15. Dean Ambrose
16. Roman Reigns
17. Luke Harper
18. Erick Rowan
19. Damien Sandow
20. Jimmy Uso
21. Ryback
22. Antonio Cesaro
23. Jack Swagger
24. Darren Young
25. Titus O'Neil

That leaves five remaining spots. I'll pick:
- Chris Jericho. He's in Pittsburgh on the RR weekend.
- Sheamus. He's in Pittsburgh on the RR weekend.
- Christian. Needs to return.
- Alexander Rusev. It's likely there will be a NXT entrant, he's ready for a call-up.
- :hogan:

Jericho and Sheamus in Pittsburgh This Weekend

As a reminder, both Sheamus and Chris Jericho are being advertised to appear at the World of Wheels Auto Convention in Pittsburgh this Friday-Sunday. Sheamus is scheduled to appear on Friday, and Jericho is scheduled to appear on Saturday.

This of course has fueled rumors that Jericho and Sheamus will be surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble match, and while it's much more likely that Sheamus will make his return at the Rumble, Jericho previously stated on Twitter that his appearance in Pittsburgh and the Rumble being there is purely coincidental. Take that for what it's worth.

Actually, I think Kane will be there instead of Christian.

I almost hope Jericho isn't at the Rumble then..The entire IWC will be waiting there with bated breath at #30 knowing "Jericho's at that car show! That means he's in the Rumble!" "BZZZZ!" Langston's music hits! Then Jericho just sits back in his oversized chair and props his feet up, pulling up Twittah to watch himself trend for no reason and looking like this ---->:jeritroll:

Langston's #17.:

Langston's #17.:

Lol what?
Becauze of that joke WWE app interview where Josh told him he was #17 even though he has no clue

 

[Snowman1]

Langston's #17.:

Didn't know, don't watch the App. Just picked a random name from the list lol

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Didn't know, don't watch the App. Just picked a random name from the list lol

He's not #17, Big E. was like "What NUMBER AM I?" and Josh was like "Why are you freaking out does it really matter?" and then Big E. was like "I just gotta know man!" and then Josh was like "#17.." Then Big E goes.. "17 WOOOOOH! and walks away" and Josh goes "Just to let everyone know I don't know what number Big E is I just threw a random one out there.

I super paraphrased that btw but that's pretty much what it went down like. Can't see him seriously being #17.

With the rest of the old Evolution crew being around, what about a Nature Boy appearance?
