There's a rumor making the rounds Josh Bredl of Tough Enough is working the Rumble match tonight. I have not heard anything that leads me to believe that to be the case, but we will see.
There was, however, a LOT of talk internally in recent days (as I mentioned in the Rumble Tip Sheet) that since the Rumble match was for the WWE World Heavyweight championship, that the company would utilize their current roster for the match (as opposed to a number of surprises or legends) with the mindset being that since it was "for the championship" that it would make no sense for surprises to "get a shot at the title." We will see if that mindset carries through tonight or whether they decide to add a few names. Given they are in Florida, it would be easy to find a few older/former roster members who can drive in..plus just about everyone on the NXT roster.
Triple H is, obviously, there. There's a LOT of speculation he'll be in The Rumble, which, if he wins, sets up a Wrestlemania rematch with Roman Reigns.
While Stardust flew to NYC for his angle with Stephen Amell this weekend, the Heroes & Villains Fanfest events were canceled due to the snowstorm, so it does not appear WWE was able to film any material involving the pair. Stardust must have used some galactic powers to get the hell out the Northeast with all the snow we've been hit with!
