Get all WWE Royal Rumble 2019 live commentary, live updates, and highlights here
We are just hours away from one of the biggest PPVs of the year for WWE - Royal Rumble! This year's show has the usual Royal Rumble match for the men and women, as well as exciting singles matches.
Let's take a look at all the latest Royal Rumble last-minute rumors:
#1 Rumoured returnees for the Rumble
The Royal Rumble is usually the perfect place for Superstars who have been injured or those that have recently signed with the company to return. AJ Styles made a huge impact when he signed for WWE and debuted in the Rumble a few years ago.
In the 2019 Royal Rumble, several Superstars have been rumoured to return. The likes of the Bludgeon Brothers - Harper and Rowan, are reportedly fit to return to action.
Meanwhile, another tag team, the team of Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, who have been out of action since late last year, are also ready to return to action, although we aren't quite sure if they will be reintroduced at the Rumble. Wyatt was spotted training with WWE Legend Tatanka earlier this week.

Tye Dillinger (who is sporting a new look) is also rumoured to be cleared to wrestle and could find himself in the Royal Rumble this week.

He was a part of WWE's build-up to the event and was involved in the Royal Rumble Axxess event on Saturday.
Velveteen Dream, Aleister Black, and Ricochet could also be a part of the Royal Rumble after they seemed to be saying goodbye to the crowd after last night's NXT Takeover show went off the air.
#2 John Cena status
John Cena was confirmed for this year's Royal Rumble earlier this month. He featured in a fatal four-way match against Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Finn Balor, with the winner getting a shot at Brock Lesnar's Universal title at Royal Rumble.
Cena lost, and then later it was announced that he suffered an injury the following week and that he could be a doubt for the Royal Rumble.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer revealed that Cena will most likely not show up at Rumble, despite being advertised for the event.
