WWE continues to introduce new men’s division superstars into the Royal Rumble match leaving very few to the imaginations. After last night’s SmackDown, there’re only three spots left for the Rumble match. The latest duo to be confirmed for the match would be The Miz and John Morrison. With that being said, how WWE would manage to insert NXT superstars or a few surprise entrants remains a big doubt.
WWE Won’t Include NXT Superstars To Royal Rumble 2020?
As seen on SmackDown of this week, The Miz accompanied his tag team partner while he was making his entrance to compete against Kofi Kingston. He went on to cut a promo and thereby confirm his presence alongside Morrison in the Rumble match. Later, WWE.com confirmed the same.

Speaking of confirmations, four new names from the women’s roster have also been added on SmackDown for the Royal Rumble match. These are Carmella, Dana Brooke, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose leaving 21 spots for new entries. In comparison to the men’s division Rumble, this lineup looks pretty good as it has better chances to bring in some surprise elements.
