Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, And Tye Dillinger Among ‘royal Rumble’ 2017 Surprise Entrants

... Angle and Shawn Michaels. So what are the chances that these superstars will actually make their way down to the ring as part of the 30-man field. In a recent report here at The Inquisitr, the WWE Rumors for Finn Balor returning at the Royal Rumble were discussed. Balor has been out of action ever since Summer Slam when he defeated Seth Rollins for the new WWE Universal Championship. Despite Balor saying he probably won’t be back to the ring until Wrestle Mania, it has still kept his odds for winning the Rumble high at various sports books. Balor is among the favorites at Paddy Power, listed with 5 to 1 odds. He trails Braun Strowman (4 to 1), Chris Jericho (3 to 1), and The Undertaker (2 to 1). Samoa Joe is among favorites to possibly appear in the Royal Rumble 2017 match. [Image by WWE]. While Balor may not be able to return to the ring in several weeks to win the match, there may ...

Samoa Joe Wasn't At The Royal Rumble, But Wwe Hasn't Forgotten About Him

... the gate. AJ Styles debuted in 2016 and lasted for just under 29 minutes, making two eliminations. His first Wrestle Mania bout was against Chris Jericho, a future WWE Hall of Famer, and there initially weren’t plans to put him in the title scene if you believe the rumors about Vince Mc Mahon’s initial impressions of the Phenomenal One. As great as he is, Jericho isn’t on Cena’s level — Cena didn’t end up being the one to tie Ric Flair’s WWE Championships record out of nowhere. So, Joe vs. Cena, with Samoan Joseph potentially showing up furious that he wasn’t part of the Rumble and using that rage to tear through the roster of Smack Down, RAW, or both until he finds a home and a rival to stop him, would be more than just an acceptable apology for his missing the Royal Rumble match. We just have to wait to see this play out, just like we need to wait to see who it is Randy Orton is going to end up facing at Wrestle Mania. Remember, we have Elimination Chamber and Fastlane ahead of us before Mania 33 happens, and a whole lot can change between the morning after the Rumble and April 2. Joe is ...

... was confirmed by Wrestling Observer Newsletter ‘s Dave Meltzer, who said there is an “idea” that Samoa Joe will make his debut “very soon” and would include a “major push.” The “push” would include being one of the “top few matches” at Wrestle Mania 33 in Orlando.

Joe is one of my really good friends. It’s just a matter of time before he’s on the roster. It wouldn’t surprise me if he showed up on Sunday.

If Joe doesn’t show up on Sunday (at Royal Rumble), he’ll definitely show up soon. I know it. Joe worked his way through the NXT roster, winning every ...

Samoa Joe, Kenny Omega Could Debut At The 'royal Rumble

... why people are so excited to see the show is because nobody really knows what’s going to happen in the Royal Rumble match, which will presumably be the main event. Traditionally, we see three or four surprise entrants in each year’s Rumble match. These surprises can be returning legends, new signees, or longtime NXT stars who are making their main roster debut, and in this year’s match, we could see all three. According to Cageside Seats , former NXT Champion Samoa Joe will make his main roster debut at the Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant. The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise because Joe has been absent from NXT television ever since losing an NXT Championship rematch against Shinsuke Nakamura. Joe, who spent the majority of his pro wrestling career in TNA, has been down in WWE’s developmental system for roughly two years now, and a main roster call up is long overdue as he was ready to be called ...

Shawn Michaels Interested In Potential Match With Samoa Joe

... men have such different styles, but they’re both so talented and experienced that they could mesh together in a unique way to create some great matches. Like HBK said, “They could have a great deal of fun together.”. The Heartbreak Kid vs. The Samoan Submission Machine wouldn’t be everyone’s choice for a dream match, but it’s an interesting matchup not many people have thought about before. It’s unfortunate that the WWE Universe won’t have the chance to see such a unique matchup, but Joe’s upcoming debut on WWE’s main roster will give them the opportunity to see some other dream matches inside a WWE ring for the first time. For instance, there have been reports about Samoa Joe challenging John Cena for the WWE Championship sooner rather than later. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles have wrestled all over the globe, but watching ...
