WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Ads Teasing Guys Who Won't Be There?
Lazy work, guys.
It's been well-established that top names such as Bill Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker will be involved in this year's Royal Rumble match. Padding out the annual 30-man bout, guys like Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Baron Corbin, The New Day and Braun Strowman will also take part.
Thus far, WWE have officially announced 22 names on television as Rumble entrants. Of course, this leaves things open for a few surprises come January 29. On TV, the Royal Rumble has been pushed heavily, regularly appearing above the news ticker on channels like ESPN.
It was there that a straightforward Rumble graphic could be seen, with closer inspection revealing some very interesting names. John Cena and Kevin Owens are amongst those painted in small text across the graphic. If those names are hardly surprising, the likes of Zack Sabre Jr most certainly are.
It's our understanding that he won't be involved in this year's Royal Rumble and WWE may have just needed names to fill up space and lazily took names from the CWC to fill it. Still, it's pretty surprising that a bunch of Cruiserweight stars and one who's not even on the main roster (Sabre) were used for such high profile advertising.
