There were well over 30 women at last night's rehearsal for the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match in St. Louis. Unless you failed math, you know that's way more talents than are needed for the bout. In asking around this morning, we have been told that the company brought in extra talents as a precautionary measure in the event someone doesn't pass medical protocols today, so it's quite possible some of the outside names that were brought don't actually compete in the Rumble match but are possibly used in some other fashion.
That said, add former WWE star Jillian Hall to the list of talents in St. Louis for the 2022 weekend, as she was at the rehearsal last night.
Sasha Banks being added to the Rumble match was said to be "as last minute of a decision as you can imagine", according to several sources. Banks was announced on 1/8 as being out until well after the Rumble due to a bruised calcaneus bone. That injury was legitimate, so she is back way ahead of schedule.
Dave Finlay is also in this weekend as he is part of the team producing the Women's Rumble bout. He had been working as a Producer for WWE NXT over the last year.
