Royal Rumble 2019: 6 Last-minute rumors you need to know

#5 John Cena still expected to be a part of Royal Rumble

John Cena

A few weeks ago, when John Cena returned to Raw he announced his participation in this year's men's Royal Rumble match.

Unfortunately, now John Cena is no longer a part of the match, as this week on Raw it was revealed that Cena has sustained an ankle injury he can't be a part of his match this Sunday.

Therefore, this announcement has led many people in believing that they won't be seeing the 16-time world champion this Sunday. But according to the latest rumor, this ankle injury of John is indeed staged as Cena has to start shooting his upcoming movie in this first week of February and since he can't afford an injury, therefore, WWE decided to pull him out of the match by doing this injury angle.

That being said, although Cena isn't expected to be a part of men's Rumble match, the latest rumors state Cena is expected to do a very short cameo this Sunday. Also, it is surprising to see that Cena is still betting favorite to be in the top four candidates of men's Royal Rumble match.
