Update on ECW Originals Possibly Appearing in the Royal Rumble, NXT Name Rumored for the Match Tonight

ecw originalWith regards to tonight’s Royal Rumble match, there had been previous speculation that WWE would fill a few of the entrant spots with ECW originals, since the PPV is being held in Philadelphia, but according to PWInsider.com, it’s more likely one ECW original will be used in the match as opposed to several.

As we reported earlier in the week, Rob Van Dam is expected to be a surprise entrant in the bout, and that might be the only ECW original name used.

The feeling is that WWE officials don’t want several ECW guys getting bigger pops than their regular Superstars. There’s also the belief that WWE Executive Kevin Dunn doesn’t like ECW and feels it’s not important enough to pay tribute to the brand in the Rumble match.
