The Royal Rumble is built on surprises, but WWE decided to let a couple of cats out of the back on WWE Backstage.
During Saturday's special edition of WWE Backstage, it was announced that Randy Orton will enter the Men's Royal Rumble at number one. Right behind him will be Edge at number two. Edge has been out of action since suffering a torn triceps against Orton at WWE Backlash 2020
For the Women's #30 Royal Rumble spot, a match between Natalya and Tamina took place to decide who would enter the rumble last. Natalya picked up the victory over Tamina. Natalya won the match after side stepping a corner shoulder tackle by Tamina and rolling her up for the three count.
