Powell’s POV: Kofi Kingston, Happy Corbin, Madcap Moss, and Sami Zayn were added to the men’s Rumble match since our last update. The Viking Raiders earned a Smackdown Tag Title shot on Friday’s Smackdown, but their title match with the Usos has not been added to the Rumble lineup as of this update.
Remember when the Royal Rumble was a “must watch” show? WHen we were excited about who the “surprise” entrants could be? Those days are sadly long gone…
