It's interesting to note that Uso said he and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns aren't satisfied with just running SmackDown, so he plans on winning The Rumble and going on to WrestleMania 37 to challenge either WWE Champion Drew McIntyre or WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg for the title. Goldberg is set to challenge McIntyre for the WWE Title at the Rumble pay-per-view.

There are now 23 open spots for the 30-Man Rumble Match. Uso joins Daniel Bryan, WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Otis, and The Miz as confirmed participants.

The 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view will take place on January 31 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL. Below is the current card:
