I agree with Supreme, I don't think this is really a great idea. Usually in a 30-man Royal Rumble there are at least 20 participants that you KNOW are not going to win. Now it's going to be 30 participants.
I'm all for nostalgia and stuff, but if we suddenly get ten guest appearances (when you know damn well they won't win the thing), the nostalgia kind of wears off and ruins the 'unpredictablilty' of the match. Plus, if it ends up being the usual legends such as Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper etc, then I really couldn't care less. |

I am pumped for the Rumble, always nice to see everyone mix it up out of their storylined matches and bullshit and just chuck each other around.

Actually, Scotty 2 Hotty gave the impression on twitter the other day he could return. I was thinking he was just messing with a fan, didn't even think about the Rumble. I would mark out "LIKE A BITCH" for him.

From JR's twitter:
“If having 40 men in the Royal Rumble match helps sell ppvs, then its a really good idea. 40 sounds good to me. Makes the main event bigger. Watch what I say, the 40 man royal rumble match will be over analyzed by many. Gives 10 more paydays & adds ‘biggest ever’ mkt’ing hook”. |

I like the idea but all its really doing is giving 10 more guys a paycheck and adding the title of "Biggest Ever" to the marketing side of things. It will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Christian will be back almost for sure. I think Bourne's out at least until March, right? My hunch is we'll get Rikishi for a moment with the Usos, plus probably an appearance from one or two of the agents/producers/whatever they're calling them now. IRS, Malenko, maybe Kidman?

This must have been a last minute decision since commercials for the Rumble still mention 30 guys or "I will eliminate 29 other guys."
WWE probably realizes the undercard is going to be bad to make the change this quickly. |

Was on Facebook for about 27 seconds earlier before I came across "40 man royal rumble? Fuck that, keep it to the basics". I hate professional wrestling.

The expanded field is also a good excuse to maybe work Kong into the match.

They should have done this sooner but it's obvious the only reason there doing it is to squeeze in the likes of the New and Old Nexus member there's you're +10 right there.

WWE.com has confirmed the following participants:
Alberto Del Rio CM Punk Cody Rhodes Daniel Bryan Darren Young David Hart Smith David Otunga Husky Harris John Cena John Morrison Mark Henry Michael McGillicutty Primo R-Truth Rey Mysterio Sheamus Ted DiBiase Tyson Kidd William Regal Yoshi Tatsu Zack Ryder That's 21 participants already. On the Raw side I figure Mason Ryan will be added. Jerry Lawler is a safe bet. Triple H will certainly be a mystery guy, The Great Khali could also return. Santino & Kozlov not being announced yet might mean they get assigned to a tag title match, I guess against The Usos yet again so figure neither of those 4 get in. Now in terms of SmackDown "locks" I'd say: Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Chris Masters, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kofi Kingston, and Wade Barrett That leaves Chavo Guerrero, Curt Hawkins, JTG, Trent Barreta, and Tyler Reks - I'd guess JTG and Trent are the two most likely to sneak in out of that group, leaving about 3-4 spots total for COMPLETE mystery entrants. |

I guarantee at some point HHH, Sheamus, Regal and Lawler will be in the ring at the same time.
