2 WWE Stars Removed From Royal Rumble Lineup

Was just checking out an interview on Slam with John Morrison talking about the Royal Rumble, and the interviewer joked in the beginning that he hadn’t been officially announced but Morrison was pretty sure he’d be in. I then went to WWE.com to check who was officially in, and the list has gone down from 26 to 24. The Hurricane and Santino Marella have both been removed. The Hurricane makes sense given recent news, but Santino not so much. Just thought that I’d give you the heads up. So, it seems officially we’re back to 24, but unofficially, we have 27 (Morrison due to his interview, R-Truth from his Superstars interview, and Marella who I’m sure would still be in it).

Santino may have been pulled out due to the angle on Raw where Jack Swagger beat him up and ran him into the ringpost. Obviously, it isn’t farfetched to think that Hurricane has been pulled due to the incident that took place this week.

Royal Rumble line-up according to WWE.com:

John Cena
Batista
Triple H
Chris Jericho

Poor Santino, he won't get a chance to last more than a second this year

theres plenty of SD superstars in there...so how comes that person who reported that great, good, slim shit on halieys newsies aint done the SD guys

Well, Helms was being a dumbass is all I have to say... There goes his fued winning push. Two in a row was coming up, he would've beat Zack Ryder again, I know it.

His push failed when Gregory helms lost the title. I just can't believe WWE pulled his superstar of the day photo from WWE.com...Its a bloody photo, what gives?! lol
