WWE News: Updated Royal Rumble Card Following RAW, SmackDown Live & 205 Live

A look at the updated Royal Rumble card after this week’s WWE TV!

With the WWE getting back to live programming this week, we saw a number of updates on RAW and SmackDown Live regarding the company’s next pay-per-view event, Royal Rumble, which is less than three weeks away.

Monday night, we learned of some more entries into the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches, plus Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax to earn a shot at Ronda Rousey’s RAW Women’s Championship (more on that here). Then last night, even more Superstars announced their entry into the Men’s Royal Rumble, plus the main event saw Becky Lynch emerge victorious from a Triple Threat to advance to Royal Rumble and face Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Title (see that story here).

Tonight on 205 Live, Hideo Itami picked up a win over Cedric Alexander, solidifying his spot at the pay-per-view in the Fatal 4-Way for Buddy Murphy’s Cruiserweight Championship. Here’s a look at the updated lineup Royal Rumble on January 27th, which you can watch live on pay-per-view or the WWE Network at 7PM EST.
