As we head into the last two weeks of build on television, there are now eight matches announced for the Royal Rumble.
Enzo Amore defending his Cruiserweight Championship against Cedric Alexander is the latest match to officially be added to the pay-per-view’s card. To set things up for the Rumble, Alexander challenged for the title and defeated Amore by countout on this past Monday’s episode of Raw.
Amore was counted out on Raw due to a storyline leg injury, but he was legitimately busted open hardway by a kick from Alexander during the match and needed to get four stitches after.
