During WWE Backstage on FS1, WWE revealed the first two entrants for the Men’s Royal Rumble match. This is a change because WWE ran commercials earlier in the week that said that they would announce the 30th entrant. Perhaps, plans have changed and they have a surprise/big name planned for the 30th spot and they would rather not give that away before the pay-per-view.
Entrant number 1 will be Randy Orton and entrant number 2 will be Edge so they will get a chance to renew their rivalry in the Rumble. For what it’s worth, there has been no mention of Bray Wyatt in the Rumble this year.
