7) Former WWE Superstar Being Used At The Royal Rumble?
Mike Johnson of PWInsider has been able to confirm that former WWE Superstar, Santino Marella, will be in Houston for Royal Rumble weekend.
This is a hint that WWE could use Santino in the men’s Royal Rumble match. He still holds the record for the quickest elimination in WWE history. Or, WWE could also utilize Santino in the women’s Royal Rumble match. We can’t forget about his ‘Santina’ character that he has used on WWE television in the past.
Santino’s role at the event isn’t confirmed yet, so we will make sure to let you know if we hear anything more. As of right now, we just know that he is being brought in to Houston for the event.
My Take:
- I would rather Santino (or Santina) be in a funny backstage segment instead of him taking a spot up in the Royal Rumble match.
6) Cain Velasquez Teases A Royal Rumble Appearance
During an interview with Sun Sport, Cain Velasquez teased that he will be entering the Royal Rumble match this year.
Here is what Cain said when asked about the Rumble match:
“I think I’m doing it, right, I think so.
“I can win it, hell yeah, that’s my mentality for everything.
“For everyone as well, that is how your mentality has to be.
“I’m going in to win this thing.”
This will be Cain’s first match since WWE Crown Jewel, where he was defeated by Brock Lesnar. He also wrestled at a WWE live event in Mexico last month but that was untelevised.
My Take:
- I would prefer not to see Cain vs Brock at Wrestlemania 36 but I have a feeling like that is where we are heading.
5) The Potential Winner Of The Men’s Royal Rumble Match
According to journalist Tom Colohue, the current favorite to win the men’s Royal Rumble match is Roman Reigns.
Here is what Colohue had to say:
“Talking about the Royal Rumble, the most likely winners at the moment remain Roman Reigns on the men’s side. Roman, I don’t think surprises many people, the idea that Roman is the one to take on the Fiend, despite how long the feud with Corbin has been, and I mean, it’s been going for a long time at this point. I do think Roman is best placed to move into that feud (The Fiend) in January. We’ll have to see how that plays out, The Fiend obviously is unlike anything we’ve encountered before. So a lot could happen. Roman seems to be the ideal person though.”
This is also reflected in the betting odds, where Roman is the current favorite on most gambling websites.
My Take:
- For me, it is either Roman Reigns or Braun Strowman winning and challenging ‘The Fiend’ at Wrestlemania 36. I would be surprised if a RAW guy ends up winning.
