Backstage Update On WWE's Royal Rumble 2020 Plans
WWE is keeping its cards close to its chest with this year's Rumble.
WWE Royal Rumble 2020 is now just two days away and the rumour mill is close to spinning out of control, with all kinds of speculation on who's going to win, who's going to eliminate Brock Lesnar, and perhaps biggest of all, which surprise entrants are going to show up on 26 January doing the rounds.
It's tough for any wrestling promotion to keep a secret in this age of social media and constant connection, particularly the biggest company in the game. Regardless, WrestleVotes are reporting that WWE is being even more guarded than usual when it comes to this year's Rumble:-
This, as the tweet says, is a good thing indeed. It's the Rumble. While it's usually possible to pinpoint who's going to win in the weeks leading up to the event, surprises and unpredictability can make or break the event, so here's hoping WWE has something big up its sleeve for Sunday night.
Bookmakers currently have Roman Reigns listed as the favourite to take the men's bout and Shayna Baszler favoured for the women's. Neither feels 100% set in stone, unlike Seth Rollins last year, so let's see if WWE go for someone else.
