As we begin the Road to WrestleMania 40, all title holders within the WWE have begun to weigh their odds. This includes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. While his feud with CM Punk has had a slow buildup, his closest partner, along with his arch-nemesis, has been added to the list of Royal Rumble 2024 participants.

As wrestlers begin to join the ever-growing list of participants for the Royal Rumble 2024, WWE added two new names to the marquee match. These are Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura and Rollins had their fair share of altercations in 2023 at PayBack when Nakamura went after Rollins’ title.
