Brock Lesnar Vs. John Cena Not At The Royal Rumble?, What Is Advertised For Cena And Reigns
The Wells Fargo Center, which will be the site of the 2015 Royal Rumble, has released updated advertising for the event today. It had been expected that Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Championship against John Cena at the event, however the updated advertising states that Cena – along with Roman Reigns – will be participating in the 30-man Royal Rumble match:
Royal Rumble's main event is a battle royal, over-the-top-rope, 30-man elimination match where only one wrestler will be left standing. WWE Superstars John Cena, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Kane and many more fight it out in the City of Brotherly Love for a chance to compete in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 31.
John Cena is the face of the WWE, and one of the most decorated wrestlers in history. He has 15 reigns as World Champion, and the two-time Rumble winner is looking to become just the second superstar in history to win the Rumble three times. The 12-year veteran has also won the United States Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Roman Reigns looks to improve on last year's record-setting Royal Rumble performance when he eliminated 12 participants in the battle royal match before finishing second, losing to Batista. He already has been a WWE Tag Team Champion, and the former NFL defensive lineman looks to be a future WWE Champion in the making.
As noted earlier, Lesnar is currently advertised for the December 8th RAW in Greenville, SC, which is the go-home show for WWE TLC, so it's possible that Lesnar vs. Cena could take place at that event.
Tickets for The Royal Rumble will go on sale this Saturday, November 1st at ComCastTix.com or at the Wells Fargo Center Box Office.
