Updated WWE Royal Rumble Lineup Including Six Title Matches

TJR Wrestling

Here’s the lineup for the WWE Royal Rumble on January 27th at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. There should be over 40,000 people in attendance at the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball stadium.

The big addition from this week’s Smackdown is that Becky Lynch beat Charlotte Flair and Carmella in a triple threat match to earn a Smackdown Women’s Championship match against Asuka. Lynch is the former champion, but there are no more automatic rematches in WWE, so Lynch had to earn it and that’s what she did.

Lynch went to Twitter to begin the trash talk against her Royal Rumble opponent.

Another Smackdown match added to the show earlier tonight is Miz and Shane McMahon challenging Sheamus and Cesaro for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. Even though Miz and Shane have only teamed up a couple of times in quick matches, they get the title shot since Miz challenged Cesaro and Sheamus, which led to The Bar duo to say yes.
