10 Reasons Lesnar Vs Cena Vs Rollins Will Rule The Royal Rumble

6. The Rumble Doesn't Have As Much Hype Surrounding It

This is a weird state of flux for WWE and its over the top rope spectacular at the moment. The majority of Monday's Raw was spent hyping the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match while the Rumble was barely mentioned. As we all know, Raw is WWE's flagship show and the lack of a mention for the Rumble suggests that is isn't a priority for this year's event. The Rumble's hype was left for SmackDown. While this is a logical move as Thursday's show was the go home event for the Rumble, it is WWE's B show with a much smaller viewing audience, and that fact can't be ignored. WWE has ploughed the majority of it's drive into the triple threat. They must be banking on the Rumble's tradition to get it over. Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, R-Truth, Damien Sandow, The Miz, Fernando, Diego, Fandango, Justin Gabriel, Goldust, Stardust, Big Show, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Bad News Barrett, Roman Reigns and Rusev are the 21 men confirmed for the event while The Dudley Boys, Sheamus and Bo Dallas are expected to show up too. There'll need to be some more big names returning, which there undoubtedly will be, to get the Rumble to the standing of the championship match.
