WWE Rumours: Cain Velasquez to enter Royal Rumble?

So far, WWE has not put a lot of focus when it comes to creating pre-Rumble build-ups. Every year, the company focuses on two big Rumble matches, with the winners getting a shot at a major title of their choice. The unpredictability of Royal Rumble makes it different from other pay-per-view events. Fans also look forward to the PPV as they love the surprise entrants that show up at the match.

In the past, retired veterans, Hall of Famers, absent talents and even injured superstars have shown up at Royal Rumble matches. This year’s Rumble is also expected to have its fair share of surprises. Cain’s appearance could be one such surprise. Velasquez’s last appearance on WWE TV was when he participated in WWE Crown Jewel and lost against Brock Lesnar. Since then, he has also had one other event – a tag team match in Mexico City. In it, he and Humberto Carrillo defeated Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
