It was recently revealed that both Bobby Lashley and Ethan Carter III have left Impact Wrestling after the latest set of TV tapings at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, and so it should come as no surprise to learn that speculation is already swirling that we'll see them at the Royal Rumble PPV.
It's already been reported that WWE is interested in both Lashley and EC3 but Dave Meltzer notes that the latter appears to be the one they're most interested in. In fact, they've been after him for months but there's a good chance that Lashley will show up too because he's always been a favourite of Vince McMahon's. So, what are the odds of either one of these wrestlers being in the Royal Rumble?
Well, word backstage is that while EC3 could appear due to him being free to sign with whoever he pleases, Lashley is going to be stuck until February 1st because of his contract. As a result, we're just going to have to wait and see but it would be silly not to expect some major surprises this month.
