What’s the story
The card for the 30th edition of the Royal Rumble is beginning to look stacked. Among the first ten Superstars that have entered the Royal Rumble, we can easily name more than five former World Champions and it looks like the list is going to get even better as we near The Royal Rumble.
On this week’s edition of SmackDown Live!, former WWE Champions Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, and The Miz announced their intentions to enrol in this year’s Royal Rumble.
In case you didn’t know...
“The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose has been feuding with the “A-Lister” The Miz for the past few weeks on SmackDown Live! The feud began when the A-Lister embarrassed Dean Ambrose’s off-screen partner Renee Young by calling out their relationship publicly during a post-match interview.
An outraged Renee Young slapped The Miz and walked away. The Miz took it upon himself to punish Dean Ambrose for Renee’s actions.
Ever since then, the duo has been feuding intensely. Last week, Dean Ambrose faced The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship. Despite Maryse’s shenanigans, Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz and became the Intercontinental Champion for the second time in his career.
The heart of the matter
During this week’s SmackDown Live, The Ambrose Asylum was back on our TV screens with the guest being The Miz and Maryse. Before The Miz and Dean Ambrose went on to continue their rivalry, both Superstars announced their intentions to take part in this year’s Royal Rumble match.
