- The Observer notes that neither AJ Styles nor Kevin Owens will be champions going into WrestleMania, so there will be changes coming soon, possibly both at Royal Rumble.
- It’s also noted that Bray Wyatt is scheduled for a run with the WWE world title in 2017.
- Speaking of which, there’s now talk that Randy Orton could win the Royal Rumble and go on to WrestleMania 33 to challenge Wyatt for the championship. That would mean Bray winning the belt at Elimination Chamber.
- John Cena vs. Samoa Joe is a match that was apparently thrown around as an idea and is still possible for WrestleMania 33.
- Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Tye Dillinger are the names from NXT most talked about as surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble.
