- WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is backstage at tonight’s Royal Rumble event from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, according to PWInsider. There is no word of if the company intends to use him with his last big appearance during the Team Flair vs. Team Hogan storyline.

- United States champion Rey Mysterio’s son Dominick is also backstage.

- WWE Superstar Matt Hardy recently tweeted: “Best of luck to everyone in the @WWE #RoyalRumble matches tonight. The Royal Rumble is always a super fun match & I look forward to watching it from The Hardy Compound tonight.”

It looks as if Hardy will not be in the match, with his departure from the company rumored soon.
