WWE has revealed two new entrants for this year's Royal Rumble matches.
During WWE's 2024 Preview Special on Peacock, Becky Lynch and Shinsuke Nakamura declared that they'll be entering the Royal Rumble. Both are former Rumble winners. Lynch won the women's Royal Rumble in 2019, while Nakamura won the men's Royal Rumble in 2018.
Lynch is the third entrant to be confirmed for this year's women's Royal Rumble match, joining Bayley and Nia Jax.
Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Nakamura are the first three confirmed men's Royal Rumble entrants.
Lynch and Jax are currently feuding with each other. Their storyline has referenced the moment in 2018 where Jax broke Lynch's nose and bloodied her face. WWE attempted to recreate that moment when Jax defeated Lynch on the Day 1 edition of Raw this past Monday. Jax punched Lynch in the face before winning with the Annihilator.
Nakamura is feuding with Rhodes. They're set to face each other on Raw next Monday (January 8).
Royal Rumble 2024 is being held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday, January 27.
