New WWE Royal Rumble Match Participants Revealed, Update On Sasha Banks Working The Rumble

As seen above, Mickie James has announced herself for the 30-woman Royal Rumble match to take place later this month. Mickie was the only red brand Superstar to be confirmed for the match this week.

It's interesting to note that Sasha Banks is still listed for the match, despite her Rumble title match against RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey. On a related note, Naomi announced herself for the match last week but she is not currently listed on the WWE website.
