Earlier today, WWE announced plans to have the Royal Rumble participants draw their numbers live on WWE.com Sunday afternoon.

Following an "announcement from Vince McMahon" this afternoon, that has been changed.

Says the WWE.com update, "Instead, Mr. McMahon will be personally conducting the drawing himself during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view."
