WWE is apparently thinking about debuting one or two NXT stars at this year’s Royal Rumble. Of course, the common belief is that Samoa Joe will debut on the main roster on Sunday night, but he might not be the only one.
According to Cageside Seats, the entire NXT roster will be at the Royal Rumble event, so they’ll all be available to be surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble.
“The entire NXT roster is expected to be backstage in the AlamoDome Sunday, so they’re all available as Rumble entrants.”
The other NXT star who’s rumored to be debuting at the Royal Rumble is the “Perfect 10” Tye Dillinger. If he does debut, he’ll debut as the, you guessed it, 10th entrant in the match.
There’s a slim chance that the loser of the NXT Championship match between Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura will debut on Sunday night. But that doesn’t seem likely, especially if Samoa Joe is going to debut on the very same night.
