With tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown currently underway, two more entrants have been confirmed for this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match.
Opening SmackDown, Jey Uso was quick to announce how he’s entering the Rumble bout, how he’s going to win the over-the-top extravaganza, and how he’s then going to head to WrestleMania 37 to dethrone WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
As Uso then faced Shinsuke Nakamura in singles action, Cesaro joined the commentary team to announce his own participation in the men’s Rumble. For the Swiss Superman, he laid out his intentions to challenge Roman Reigns at the Showcase of the Immortals – all to get some revenge for the High Chief’s recent attack on Nakamura.

The 2021 Royal Rumble PPV takes place on 31 January.
