Randy Orton added to list of WWE Royal Rumble entrants

One more entrant was added to the men’s Royal Rumble match on SmackDown’s go-home show for the pay-per-view.

Randy Orton was confirmed for the men’s Rumble, and he stood tall heading into Sunday’s PPV. After Samoa Joe had interrupted Rey Mysterio and Andrade’s two-out-of-three falls match in the main event of SmackDown, Orton appeared out of nowhere and laid out Joe with an RKO.

Orton has won two Royal Rumble matches in his career.

There are now 20 entrants announced for the men’s Rumble match and 23 announced for the women’s Rumble match. The PPV is taking place at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona this Sunday.
