AJ Styles addressed fans at a indy show about possibly entering Royal Rumble match:
“I don’t know what the future holds for me. (fans chant Royal Rumble) I’ll tell you what… if I’m not recovering from some weird armbar submission and there’s a spot in the Royal Rumble… (fans chant “you deserve it”) I don’t deserve a thing, I don’t deserve you but I’ll tell you, if you put me in that Royal Rumble I’ll kick some ass for you guys.”

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that WWE was originally looking to debut AJ Styles in the Royal Rumble Match as a surprise, however he noted that plans might change now that it’s public that he’s WWE bound.
Doc Gallows noted on Twitter that he will be on the NJPW tour in February. He will team up with Karl Anderson to face Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma. Both of their contract expire at the end of the month, so that may be their last appearance for NJPW before heading to WWE.
