The Wyatt Family Joins WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Match
More major forces added to the mix...
Following a near-brawl between Randy Orton and Luke Harper on Smackdown, Bray Wyatt commandeered the Titantron to tell the WWE Universe that all three Wyatt Family members will be participating in the 2017 Royal Rumble match.
They mark the 16th, 17th, and 18th entrants confirmed, meaning that 60% of the overall field has been revealed.
The Wyatt Family were a force to be reckoned in last year's Rumble match. The entire group - which, at the time, consisted of Wyatt, Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman - accounted for a combined six eliminations, and didn't let the rules stop them from dishing out punishment. Though Brock Lesnar eliminated Harper, Rowan, and Strowman, the trio re-entered the ring and tossed "The Beast" out as Wyatt watched on approvingly.
The field for the Royal Rumble, which airs Sunday, January 29 at 8:00 PM ET, is arguably the most star-studded in the bout's history. Besides The Wyatt Family, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Baron Corbin, Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Sheamus, The Undertaker, and Seth Rollins have been confirmed as participating.
