Mojo Rawley Added To WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Match
Hyped for Sunday!
Tuesday's Smackdown played host to a ten-man battle royal that would determine the 22nd entrance announced for the Royal Rumble.
When the dust had settled and the smoke had cleared, it was Mojo Rawley who earned his way into the biggest match in WWE.
The bout involved Rawley, Simon Gotch, Aiden English, Rhyno, Heath Slater, Viktor, Konnor, Curt Hawkins, Fandango, and Tyler Breeze, with Baron Corbin - who has already qualified for the Rumble - offering guest commentary. The Vaudevillains were quickly eliminated, and Viktor, Curt Hawkins, and Heath Slater soon followed. Breezango tried to eliminate Konnor and Rhyno, but were unable to get them over the ropes - Rawley, however, tossed both men on his own. After that, Rawley ducked a superkick from Breeze, which ended up knocking Fandango out of the match. "The Hype Machine" then backdropped Breeze out of the ring with ease.
The Royal Rumble airs live on the WWE Network this Sunday at 7:00 PM ET. This year's Rumble is the most star-studded in history, boasting Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Randy Orton, The Undertaker, The Big Show, Rusev, Big Cass, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, Mojo Rawley, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Cesaro, and Sheamus.
