We now know 2 of the wrestlers who will be participating in this years Royal Rumble match. The Big Show announced on RAW that he would enter the match and now WWE.com has confirmed Curtis Axel.. If you remember, Axel never was eliminated from last years Rumble as he was attacked on the way to the ring by Erick Rowan.
Considering he will have already been in the Royal Rumble match for over a year, we have to think Axel is the favorite to outlast every other competitor!
I think the segment with Axel will actually be very entertaining. They will probably have him enter the match, get eliminated and than try to come back in....Only to be eliminated for a second time. I also think hearing Axel's promos over the next couple weeks will be a fun part of RAW!
It just wouldn't make sense for the WWE not to include Axel in this years Rumble.
