28 Participants announced for the Royal Rumble

I know I just wrote about this a day or two ago but I like to keep my readers updated on whats going on with things. As of the Friday Night Smackdown Tapings 28 men have been confirmed for the Royal Rumble match. I have listed them by which show they are on.

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

ECW:
Shelton Benjamin, Vladimir Kozlov, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder

SMACKDOWN
Batista, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Finlay, John Morrison, Kane, Matt Hardy, R-Truth

Notice there are two spots open and I believe these two spots will mark the return will mark the return of Booker T and Rob Van Dam who have been rumored to return to the WWE of quite sometime. Not to send repetitive but the rules of the Royal Rumble are this: Two men start out and every 90 seconds another person enters until all 30 men have been entered. A wrestler can be eliminated at anytime but both feet must hit the floor after going over the top rope. The winner of the Royal Rumble match goes on to face the ECW Champion, World Champion, or WWE Champion at Wrestlemania 26. Check back next week for my predictions on the event.
