WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Liveblog

It’s that time of the year again! The first stop on the Road to Wrestlemania!™

Let’s get a look at dat card tho

Men’s Royal Rumble: The 30-man, over-the-top-rope affair for a No. 1 contendership to a world title will go down as usual. It will likely serve as the main event of the show. Entrants (18/30): Roman Reigns, The Miz, John Cena, Finn Balor, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Elias, Baron Corbin, Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt, Aiden English, Rusev, Titus O’Neil, Apollo Crews, Tye Dillinger, Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods

Women’s Royal Rumble: For the first time, WWE will hold a women’s rumble. The bout will include 30 participants just like the men’s match. Entrants (18/30): Asuka, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Bayley, Naomi, Natalya, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, Mickie James, Tamina Snuka, Lana, Carmella, Becky Lynch, Dana Brooke, Alicia Fox

Ok so both matches have 12 spots that haven’t been filled yet so that leaves a lot of room for NXT call ups and legend spots. Personally I think CM Punk’s winning.

 

But if not him, then I guess Nakamura. For the women, i gotta give it to Asuka.
