WWE News: Stephanie McMahon Joining Announce Team for Women’s Royal Rumble, Updated Lineup

TJR Wrestling

It was announced by Stephanie McMahon on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon that she is joining the announce team for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match, which takes place this Sunday, January 8 in Philadelphia.

Could she be a part of the Rumble match? That’s not known, but the fact that she’ll be announcing does make it a possibility.

If she doesn’t throw in the phrase “What A Maneuver” during the match like daddy Vince then I’ll be very disappointed.

TJR Thoughts: Stephanie joining the announce team is pretty rare, but I’m not surprised by it. The McMahons love putting attention on themselves. Steph will probably do a good job of it although will also likely say the phrase “making history” 45 times during the match.

Here’s the updated Royal Rumble lineup with our official proving coming on Friday.
