This week’s episode of SmackDown Live acted as the go home show to the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view (PPV) this coming Sunday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That made it the last episode of TV before the two Royal Rumble matches and, seemingly, the last chance for anyone who hasn’t officially declared for it to do so.
The women’s match is already set with the entirety of both the Raw and SmackDown rosters, sans champions:
- Asuka
- Ruby Riott
- Liv Morgan
- Sarah Logan
- Sasha Banks
- Nia Jax
- Bayley
- Naomi
- Natalya
- Sonya Deville
- Mandy Rose
- Mickie James
- Tamina Snuka
- Lana
- Carmella
- Becky Lynch
On the men’s side, The New Day and Tye Dillinger threw their names in on SmackDown this week. Here’s the updated list of confirmed entrants for that match:
- John Cena
- Finn Bálor
- Randy Orton
- Shinsuke Nakamura
- The Miz
- Elias
- Baron Corbin
- “Woken” Matt Hardy
- Bray Wyatt
- Aiden English
- Rusev
- Titus O’Neil
- Apollo Crews
- Tye Dillinger
- Big E

Everyone else will be a surprise.
