In a confusing turn of events, veteran WWE strongman Mark Henry’s name was added to the Royal Rumble match but was later removed and not added back ever since.
WWE put out an updated list of participants in the 30-man royal Rumble match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship which is devoid of Henry’s name. Below are the 13 names that have been officially announced:
- Roman Reigns
- Big Show
- Brock Lesnar
- Chris Jericho
- Sheamus
- Ryback
- Curtis Axel
- Dolph Ziggler
- Stardust
- Bray Wyatt
