Surprise For Royal Rumble This Year

WWE Royal Rumble will be on January 25th fron the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE is considering a surprise entrant that is an ECW Original. This would make sense since ECW’s home was in Philadelphia.

Itami and Balor as a Team

There have been some discussions of having Hideo Itami and Finn Balor make a run at the NXT Tag Team Titles before having singles runs in NXT.

Finn Balor, as rumored previously, did not want to stay in NXT for too long. This was one of the conversations he had and agreements before signing with WWE.

Isenberg: I am not sure what ECW original they could have planned. Some of them are currently working with TNA, while guys like Sabu and The Sandman seem illogical. They could always get the surprise pop for Rob Van Dam. Personally, I think Bully Ray being a surprise entrant would be a great surprise.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
