WWE is also teasing an update on the U.S. Title after Dolph Ziggler left the belt in the ring last week. The official preview also questions whether anyone will step up as the next challenger for the WWE Championship, whether additional Royal Rumble entrants will be named, and whether Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan are on the same page.
