For what it’s worth, several fans online have pointed out that a number of interesting names were featured in pre-show graphics on tonight’s NXT Takeover: San Antonio broadcast promoting tomorrow’s Royal Rumble.
Some of the more interesting names in the graphics were: Sting, Zack Sabre Jr and Fabian Aichner. Of course, there were a number of stars mentioned that are under contract, but not in the Royal Rumble match, such as Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, John Cena, Triple H, Jack Gallagher, Rich Swann and TJ Perkins. The graphic could have always been put together using a list of current previously used talents by WWE, but Sting is not active and Sabre and Aicher only worked during the Cruiserweight Classic last summer. It should be taken with speculation, and not to say these names would be in the match, but interesting that they were included at all or not edited out.
In addition to finding Zack Sabre Jr’s name on the Royal Rumble name plates, I’ve also found Sting. Makes things VERY interesting. pic.twitter.com/nbPSpO4DKq— Theland. (@DavockOrigi) January 29, 2017
