Brock Lesnar Among Last-Minute Entrants Announced For WWE Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar has the opportunity to join WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as the only three-time Royal Rumble winner in history this weekend.

On the 1/27 “WWE SmackDown” in Laredo, Texas, Lesnar declared his entry into Saturday’s 30-man battle royal after jumping the barricade and striking Bobby Lashley with an F5. After the ambush, Lesnar told Lashley, “See you at the Royal Rumble, Bobby!”

Earlier in the segment, Austin Theory vowed to win the Royal Rumble, until he was interrupted by The New Day’s Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, who proceeded to mock the United States Champion for believing he has a shot on Saturday. The Miz also stepped out after Theory referred to himself as “the biggest star in WWE,” as the A-Lister declared his entry into the Royal Rumble as well. Eventually, Lashely hit the ring and took out everyone until he was ambushed by Lesnar.
