We had reported a while back that NXT Superstars will have a major role to play in the Rumble matches but the company has yet to announce a single name from the Black and Gold brand.
Dave Meltzer opened up on NXT’s rumored involvement at Royal Rumble on the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio.
Meltzer stated that the last time he checked, the plan was to still have NXT Superstars at Royal Rumble 2020. The women’s match will have to include some of the top talents from NXT as the company won’t be able to fill all the 30 spots without the help of Triple H’s brand.
Meltzer even added that Shayna Baszler is the favourite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble match. He also stated that WWE could announce the additions from NXT on the upcoming episodes of RAW, NXT and SmackDown respectively.
He explained:
Four participants for the Women’s match have been confirmed, while on the men’s side of things, 20 spots have already been filled.
