Big E Langston

R-Truth
Xavier Woods
Kofi Kingston
Goldust
Cody Rhodes
Fandango
Rey Mysterio
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns
Dean Ambrose

Daniel Bryan will be one of the surprise entrants (for the biggest pop of the night - it's all part of the ongoing Bryan vs. The Authority angle, which will culminate at WM XXX. Any 'confirmation' of him not being in the RR match is total kayfabe) and will most likely win.



Rumored surprise entrants:


Dolph Ziggler (He'll be backstage tonight and will be in the Rumble, medical clearence pending)

Chris Jericho (he's at a car show today in Pittsburgh - at the very least he'll be backstage, off camera)

Sheamus (same as Jericho)

Christian (fully recovered from his concussion)

Jake "The Snake" Roberts (Jake has been lobbying to be in this for a year now - plus he made a surprise showing at old school Raw a couple weeks back)

Kevin Nash (He spent last night in Pittsburgh)

2 Cold Scorpio (was a prominent name in ECW, also worked in WWF as Flash Funk - this is another nostalgic card that will help promote the broad spectrum of talent that's archived in the WWE Network)

Jimmy Wang Yang (he's been making hints on Twitter, was backstage at last weeks Raw, and is close friend with Batista; having close connections in pro wrestling is good)

Gene Snitsky (Was backstage at at WWE house show in Reading, Pennsylvania last night)

Rob Van Dam (there's been talk of him signing another contract with WWE lately)

Kane (part of CM Punk's angle vs. The Authority - if Kane were to eliminate Punk, it'd set up a grudge match at WM XXX)

HHH (same as Kane)

Sting (highly unlikely rumor, but if he'll ever perform in a WWE ring, it'll be this year at WM XXX)

Papa Shango (Rumor teased by Wade Barrett; his hint - Voodoo [For those who don't know Papa Shango's gimmick was a Witch Doctor, he'd later become the Godfather])

Hulk Hogan (Another connection to the Wade Barrett rumor - one of Hulk Hogan's theme songs is Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix)

Rusev Alexander (NXT wrestler possibly debuting tonight)

The Ultimate Warrior (The first Hall of Fame entrant for 2014, Warrior and WWE have come to some kind of agreement that will likely culminate at WM XXX - there's rumor that he may face Ryback then)
