WWE had several notable names backstage at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on Sunday. The company was hoping to swerve the internet by having so many names at the show, with the thought being some of those names would leak.
Among those in attendance at the show were Chris Jericho and Nikolai Volkoff. Sean Waltman was rumored to be backstage at the show as well, although that has yet to be confirmed.
One WWE performer who was scheduled to work the Royal Rumble match but didn’t was Alex Riley. Riley was taken off of his normal job as part of the pre-show panel so that he could work the match, but for whatever reason he wasn’t used.
