As reported several weeks ago, WWE originally had plans to make next year’s Royal Rumble elimination match a 40-man bout, but it was later confirmed that it will be a traditional 30-man match.
As it turns out, WWE originally planned on capitalizing on the fact that the Royal Rumble is being held in Philadelphia next year by using a bunch of “ECW Originals” in the match to get the number of competitors up to 40. The idea was later nixed and WWE executives decided to go with the regular 30-man match.
