Is there a WWE pay-per-view that attracts as much speculation as the Royal Rumble? The answer to that question is obviously a resounding ‘no’. The show itself has been relatively disappointing over the last few years, but the joy of guessing the nostalgia pops and shocking returns is yet to dull.

The 2018 Royal Rumble is just a few short hours away. It already promises to be a history-making show, with the inaugural women’s Royal Rumble scheduled to take place alongside the traditional men's equivalent. With that in mind, dare you drink every time Stephanie McMahon says that while on commentary? An already lengthy night just got a little longer.

The Road to WrestleMania is well and truly underway, and the ‘Mania card will begin to take some form in Philadelphia this evening. Speculation will continue to heighten throughout the afternoon and into the evening, as Transfer Deadline Day-style reports of airport sightings swamp social media.

What are the last minute rumours you need to know ahead of the 2018 Royal Rumble? If you’re one of the many to have put money on a Daniel Bryan victory, you might want to look away now…

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
