There is a reason why the Royal Rumble is dubbed one of the “Big Four” of the WWE, alongside WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series. Ever since its debut in 1988, it has become one of the most sought-after PPVs by fans due to how fun the stipulation is. With 30 men fighting it out, the last man or woman standing in the ring will be headed to WrestleMania; no wonder fans love it.

However, there is another aspect of the PPV that the fans love, and that is guessing who will be the entrants and at what number they will be entering. One way of deciding it while making it fun was the Royal Rumber raffle drum spinner, where the superstars would spin the wheel and pick out a number, though it was discontinued for a few years. But fret not, as the Triple H run promotion has finally brought the old tradition back.

WWE goes all retro

On tonight’s edition of SmackDown, WWE General Manager Nick Aldis and NXT General Manager Ava Raine had backstage segments where WWE superstars would make an appearance and pick out their names from a golden raffle drum spinner.

So far, Bayley, Jimmy Uso, Bobby Lashley, R. Truth, and Bianca Belair have been the ones to pick out their numbers. And from what it looks like so far, R-Truth is probably number 19 in the Rumble. Bobby Lashley and Biana Belair seemed pretty confident with their numbers; on the contrary, Jimmy Uso and Bayley did not appear to like their picks.
