Royal Rumble *SPOILER*?, TNA/WWE Ratings Breakdown, Kiyoshi
? Ric Moore sent this in regarding a possible spoiler for the Royal Rumble World Title main event: I was watching my DVR over of this week's Raw and if you watch the Royal Rumble commercial 7 out of the 8 superstars competing to go on to the fatal 4 way next Monday were in the commercial hyping the Royal Rumble Match itself. The only man missing from that commercial was of course Chris Jericho.
