#3 Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan was reportedly set for a massive program against John Cena only to suffer a nervous breakdown before RAW and then being forced to fly home. With the Cena program not starting the way WWE had planned, WWE could have Lars Sullivan enter the Royal Rumble and throw John Cena out.
However, one wrinkle on this rumor is the fact that Cena is "injured" and may not compete at the Royal Rumble tomorrow.
#2 Rumor killer on Roman Reigns
No, Roman Reigns will NOT be at the Royal Rumble.
There were some early baseless rumors that Roman Reigns was doing a lot better and was ready to return and this would somehow happen as soon as tomorrow in the men's Royal Rumble match.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider squashed these rumors, saying:
"A couple of names that we have talked about, primarily Roman Reigns… I am told Roman Reigns will not be there this weekend. He was never involved with any creative plans.
We are told he’s actually in Hawaii so he’s not going to be physically at the Royal Rumble…All signs are Roman Reigns will not be at the Royal Rumble this weekend in any way shape or form."
