7 biggest Royal Rumble 2019 rumours  

#6 The Rock in the Rumble

The Great One in the Royal Rumble will definitely raise ratings

The Rock is the most recognisable WWE star of all time, and thanks to the wrestling boom back in the late 90s and the early 2000s, the world got to witness Rocky in the prime of his life, as aside from his heel run in 2003, there was no better version of the Rock in the wrestling ring.

So after all these years, why is the Rock rumoured to be in the Royal Rumble match? It is due to his undeniable star power, and it is that star power WWE so dearly need.

Moreover, people believe that The Rock would be laying the smackdown on somebody's candy ass at the Royal Rumble, as he is one of the odds on favourite to win the entire match. Brock Lesnar vs The Rock at Wrestlemania would break some records, and after enduring a pitiful year, WWE needs this sort of attraction to gain the attention of the world.

Two of the biggest stars in combat sports and in entertainment going head to head is surely enough to sell out Wrestlemania, so if WWE wants to get this year off to a hot start, and if The Rock is ready for one more match, then we could actually see The Rock in the Royal Rumble.

#7 Kenny Omega signs for WWE

The biggest signing since AJ Styles?

This is a rumour that won't go away until the Royal Rumble is over, as many fans believe that Kenny Omega won't sign with WWE, as he will join Cody Rhodes at AEW. While some fans believe that Omega will be Vince McMahon's new top guy, it's truly a mystery as to what will go down, but the thought of seeing Omega in the Royal Rumble is an intriguing one.

Will it happen? Well, who knows, as WWE has been making changes their product as of late by giving more wrestlers a chance, letting them work more risky matches, and it seems like the PG Era could be ending. So could another one of their changes mean bringing in the biggest free agent since AJ Styles?
