With WWE’s Royal Rumble show taking place at the end of January, the promotion is gearing up for their annual event by announcing new entrants for both the male and female, over the top rope Rumbles.
Just last night on Monday Night Raw, John Cena returned and officially entered himself into the men’s Royal Rumble.
Now, another three names have been scheduled to compete for that lucrative number one contender opportunity.
For the men’s Rumble, both Apollo Crews and Andrade “Cien” Almas will now be taking part.
The latest entrant for the women’s equivalent is Almas’ manager, Zelina Vega.
Vega and Andrade revealed their intentions in the video below, which was posted online during last night’s Raw.
