Any chance of HBK interference in the World Title Match, costing Mysterio the title, setting up a WM match between the two??... I haven't read any WM plans so I don't know what's lined up...

I just had a vision of HBK interfering and having the "I'm retiring Ric Flair" face as he looks at Rey, "I'm sorry, I need a rematch with Taker", Superkick to Rey, I'd laugh, then laugh so more as the internet explodes with anger lamenting the cheap angle.  ;D

With Matt Hardy and R Truth now added that leaves us with only 3 spots left.  Seems like Raw could well be dominant in this Rumble seeing as they are gonna have at least half the entrants in it.

From PWTorch

WWE
wrestler John Morrison says he expects to be in the Royal Rumble match despite WWE not officially listing him for the match. Morrison would be officially the 27th wrestler and unofficially the 28th wrestler with R-Truth also not listed on WWE's official list.

"Holy crap. This whole time I thought I was (in the match)," Morrison told Greg Oliver of Slam Wrestling. "I'm sure I'll be in there."

The rest of Morrison's interview included in-character comments on Drew McIntyre, who he is currently feuding against in Smackdown storylines, and at current WWE champion Sheamus. He also talked up Dolph Ziggler as a future star if "given a break at the right time."

"I think my path has been a slow rise. I think a lot of people rise too quickly and they find out when they get there - I think Sheamus is going to find out - that they haven't really earned the respect of the WWE Universe or the locker room, and they're going to end up falling flat, falling back down the card and either walk back up to the top or just fall right down and stay down," Morrison said about Sheamus.

on Slam Wrestling.


And

WWE has pulled "The Hurricane" Gregory Helms and Santino Marella from their official list of Royal Rumble match participants.

The official list is now down to 24 confirmed names. R-Truth is unofficial after he announced himself for the Rumble on last night's taped Superstars show and John Morrison said in an interview with Slam Wrestling here that he believes he's in the match.


Hurrican you can understand maybe, but why Santino??

No Santino!

After his comedy build with Swagger, I'm a bit gutted, he was hyped in a minor way for it.

The positive I think is it may mean they have some good returns/special guests that they want to make space for.

I wanted to see if he could get out of that ring any quicker than last year. ;D

A Rumble without Santino.... is sad

You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath

According to a rumored report from the PWInsider website, the possible reason Santino Marella was pulled from the official Royal Rumble 30-man match today on WWE.com was because he may have suffered some sort of injury during his match on this past Monday night's edition of WWE RAW.

Whether or not that is the official reason has yet to be revealed, although that is the early speculation.

So how many Rumble spots are filled.  Here's my unofficial list with Santino removed:

Big Show
Cody Rhodes
Carlito
Evan Bourne
Jack Swagger
John Cena
Kofi Kingston
Mark Henry
MVP
Shawn Michaels
Ted Dibiase
The Miz
Triple H

Smackdown

Batista
Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Dolph Zigler
Drew McNtyre
Finlay
John Morrison
Kane
Matt Hardy
R-Truth

ECW

Shelton Benjamin
Vladimir Kozlov
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder

That equals 27 and even if you add Edge as a surprise  entrant, there are still 2 spots open.  I'm praying that Hornswoggle doesn't occupy one of those last two spots.

Where is my super-signing, soon to be tag champion. Luke Gallows!

There's only room for one Straight Edge dude in the match.
