As previously reported, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan will all be back in time for the Royal Rumble. We can report that the three are not backstage at RAW tonight and won’t be on the show. It is expected that they will be back within the next three weeks though.
There is the possibility that they will do the “sitting in the crowd” thing leading into some kind of invasion angle, which would result in all three men being brought back in time for the PPV.
We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
