With WWE gearing up for its annual Royal Rumble PPV, another name has thrown their hat into the ring for this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match.
During an appearance on TMZ Sports, the Miz used this opportunity to announce he’ll be entering the 30-man over-the-top extravaganza come 31 January – citing how he’ll emerge victorious in that match, cementing himself a shot at the WWE Championship or WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37.
In making this announcement, the former WWE Champion joins Daniel Bryan, Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Elias and Otis as the currently confirmed names for the men’s Rumble bout.
