Rumor Killer: Styles Not Ruled Out of Royal Rumble

One of the most popular events on the WWE circuit is the Royal Rumble, a contest where 30 wrestlers participate in a battle royal style match where each participant is eliminated by being thrown over the top rope onto the floor.
One of the obvious names that have been doing the rounds is that of Triple H. Triple H is out with a storyline injury after he was brutally laid out by Roman Reigns at TLC. Soon thereafter Mr. McMahon announced that Reigns will not only defend his title but he’ll do it in the Royal Rumble match against 29 other men. The bout has become one of the biggest on the WWE calendar, taking place each January and effectively kicking off the heavily-hyped “Road To WrestleMania”. The universal groan in response to Roman Reigns’ 2014 win was a serious warning sign that the Royal Rumble brand is slipping in its reputation as an exciting, satisfying night for the biggest WWE fans. Case and point last week on Raw, Reigns defended his title against Sheamus with Mr. McMahon as the guest referee.
First: As much as I’d love to see Daniel Bryan wrestling again, I’d much rather see him safe and healthy, so if the reports of him not being cleared to compete are totally accurate and above-board, then I hope he enjoys the 2016 Royal Rumble from outside the ring.
The first of several NJPW talent featured on this list, we’ve lumped Anderson and Gallows together since they are most frequently seen as tag team competitors. “Other than that I think I’ve wrestled everybody”. They need stars, and who’s a bigger star at the moment than Batista?
Inside Pulse has some interesting prediction on how the Royal Rumble would turn out.
The loss of Seth Rollins was perhaps the deepest and most scarring ding on the title. Day edition of Monday Night RAW. However, there are still no plans for The Undertaker’s match as the WWE had no backup plan for Cena.
Going back to Orlando can pose many opportunities for WrestleMania 33 as it can play a role for The Rock to wrestle one more match.
