There are just two weeks of television to go before before WWE Royal Rumble 2018 (January 28th), and both titular matches are filling up, with 11 participants announced for the men's bout, and 17 for the women's.

Aiden English and Rusev were the latest to throw their names into the hat on this week's SmackDown, with Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt, and Samoa Joe unveiled on Raw. Joe's foot injury may prevent him from participating, but this is yet to be confirmed.

On the women's side, Mickie James, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch were all announced on Raw and SmackDown. This leaves the company with 13 spots to fill, and with Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke, and champions Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss the only unannounced full-timers, it's safe to say we're in for a few surprises.
