Yesterday in what was monumental news the WWE announced that the Royal Rumble match will now have 40 participants which is 10 more then the traditional 30. Two men will start out and every 90 seconds a new person will come in. The last one remaining will go on to headline Wrestlemania 27 with a championship match of their choosing. Here are the list of participants who are in so far:

-Alberto Del Rio

That makes 21, with 19 left to be named. I have a feeling there are going to be some huge surprises. Here are the other two matches that have been announced

Edge (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship

Stay tuned for more on the Rumble because I am sure their will be more names announced. It’s time to rumble
