Powell’s POV: WWE added Carmella and Dana Brooke to the women’s Rumble match, and Morrison and Miz to the men’s Rumble match on Friday’s Smackdown. Lesnar is entering the men’s Rumble match as the first entrant. The WWE website lists R-Truth for the Rumble match, yet also notes that he “undeclared after declaring.” Join me for my live review of the WWE Royal Rumble event beginning with the two-hour Kickoff Show at 4CT/5ET and the main show beginning at 6CT/7ET. Jake Barnett and I will co-host a Dot Net Members’ exclusive audio review afterward.
