• WWE’s Plan For Royal Rumble 2020 Revealed
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, NXT wrestlers are scheduled to get an opportunity to compete in the Royal Rumble match and get a Title match of their choosing at WrestleMania:
“The idea for the Royal Rumble and god only knows if things could change and they could change a lot more depending on if AEW is winning or losing at that point, but the plan was Royal Rumble men’s and women’s will be thirty spots. 10 spots going to RAW, 10 spots to SmackDown, 10 spots to NXT. That was the plan.”
So to build-up for the Royal Rumble PPV, WWE can once again use RAW/SmackDown wrestlers on NXT to increase the viewership for NXT in their ratings war against AEW Dynamite.
