The season of injuries for the WWE seems to be here. There have already been quite a few names on the long list of injured superstars in the promotion, and tonight’s edition of SmackDown witnessed two more new names being added.

Austin Theory and Carmelo Hayes squared off in the ring in what was supposed to be a detrimental match towards Hayes’ road to the Royal Rumble. However, the match ended via a referee stoppage, and the WWE has come out with an update on the two.

What’s planned for the Royal Rumble so far?

The Royal Rumble is set to be THE spectacle at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. In what has already become the hottest ticket in the Tampa Bay area since 1995, this year’s edition will be the first time since 2021 that fans will be back in attendance.

Much to their pleasure, major names have already been dropped for the ultimate showdown on January 27, 2024. So far, the 5 names for the men’s Royal Rumble are Cody Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk.

On the other hand, the women’s rumble is gearing up to be nothing short of amazing, with Nia Jax, Bayley, Bianca Belair, and Becky Lynch as confirmed entrants. The lineup so far is enough to excite fans, and with more names to be confirmed, we can expect the 2024 edition to be a success already! What do you think of the names so far?
