– Another source has confirmed that Justin Gabriel quit WWE this weekend. There are no other details available yet. We noted earlier in the week that Gabriel was one of the Superstars pulled from the 30-man Royal Rumble match.
– There’s a lot of online speculation that Sean “X-Pac” Waltman may be appearing in tonight’s 30-man Royal Rumble main event after he made a surprise appearance at Jim Ross’ one-man show in Starland, NJ this weekend. Waltman could at least be backstage visiting at the Rumble since he’s in the area.
– Paul Heyman tweeted the following to hype WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and tonight’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view:
