Updated WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Card After Last Night's SmackDown
A couple of additions for this Sunday's pay-per-view.
WWE's first pay-per-view of the year is only four days away. Broadcasting from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas this Sunday, January 29, Royal Rumble 2017 promises to be a huge show, and its lineup is nearing completion.
Last night's go-home SmackDown saw a couple of notable changes, with Nikki Bella, Naomi, and Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James, Natalya, and Alexa Bliss booked for the Kickoff Show, and Mojo Rawley added to the Rumble itself.
Rawley's inclusion leaves the Rumble with eight free spots. Assuming WWE don't fill the match throughout the remainder of the week, it looks like this year's Rumble will be full of surprises.
