There will be “lots of surprises” claims Triple H when it comes to this weekend’s Royal Rumble.
“This year is no different. There’s going to be a lot of surprises in store but also it’s one of the most star-studded Rumbles that I can recall. You’ve got Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, are all going to be in there,” said HHH on ESPN’s Get Up this morning.
He also gave the women’s Rumble match its due too.
“On the women’s side, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. They’re just stacked cards. This one is going to be epic,” he promised.
HHH further hyped the event that traditionally brings back a lot of casual and lapsed fans back to the promotion.
“The Royal Rumble is one of those events that is amazing to see. Every two minutes there is a new entrant that enters into the fray. So, as this match goes on over the hour that it takes or so you’re getting constantly surprised by who is next and the strategy of what happens next when that person comes out,” he explained to the uninitiated.
