Royal Rumble 2019: 6 Last-minute rumors you need to know
We're only a few days away from knowing who will be the first two superstars who will book their spot at WrestleMania 35 by winning their respective Royal Rumble matches.
Moreover, most of the titles are scheduled to be defended this Sunday at the Royal Rumble PPV except the Intercontinental Championship. Besides this, the WWE Universe has a lot to worry about other than the outcomes of these championship matches, the winner of men's and women's Rumble match.
As you already know, going into the match, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are the clear favorites to win their respective RR matches
Therefore, as we're in the final moments before we get to see the one of the first big four PPV's of this year, let me run you through those six last-minute rumors surrounding the PPV. Let's start.
#6 Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Kurt Angle's Status
All three men, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Kurt Angle are absent from WWE TV for the past several months. The first two men aren't seen due to the injuries issues, while Kurt Angle is absent due to lack of storyline or maybe because of some other unknown issue.
Though WWE recently aired vignettes for the return of Owens and Zayn a few weeks back, according to rumors, both men aren't expected to be the part of one of the first big PPV's of this year. On the contrary, it doesn't take away the possibility of us seeing them as a surprise candidate in the Men's Roya Rumble match.
Moreover, Owens is reported to return on Raw after Royal Rumble and commence a feud with Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Title as a babyface.
While speaking of Kurt Angle, according to the latest rumor, the Olympic gold medalist is expected to be a part of men's Royal Rumble match.
Therefore, you can expect a short appearance by Kurt Angle this Sunday but don't get your hopes high to see Owens and Zayn.
