Trivia[]

  • This is the first Royal Rumble in the history of the caw fed version of the WWE to not feature New Age Wrestling as one of the competing brands. Due to the death of the original NAW and removal of WCW's version from The Vivianverse.
  • Likewise, it is also the first to not feature any representatives from any other feds; all entrants are either from New-WWE's Raw and Smackdown brands, or guests not entering on behalf of any fed they may be signed to.
  • It's also the first to feature a 40-man Royal Rumble Match.
  • A poll was held on Youtube and Something CAWful to determine the number one contender for the WWE Championship. The choices were Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, and Athouse. Bryan was victorious in the poll with 27 votes, in comparison to Jericho's 20, Athouse's 9, and Del Rio's 2.
