WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know
2. AJ Styles Will Debut
Of all of WWE's recent acquisitions, none is expected to debut as soon as AJ Styles. Given that it's been confirmed that he'll be at the Royal Rumble on Sunday, his participation in the match seems quite likely. There's no time to waste when it comes to introducing Styles - who, at 38 years old, is still one of the best workers on the planet and should play a major role at WrestleMania. Plus, Orlando - where "The Phenomenal One" wrestled for nearly a decade - is probably the best place in the country for the former IWGP Champion to get a great reaction. Even a report - credited to F4Weekly's Bryan Alvarez - stating that Styles's debut is being held back until this Monday's Raw has been dismissed by the journalist as fraudulent. There's nothing standing in the way of Styles competing in the Royal Rumble match.
