As previously reported, WWE decided to announced at the last minute that John Cena is out of the men’s Royal Rumble match at tonight’s event. However, WWE has now released a video on Instagram announcing that Braun Strowman will replace John Cena in the men’s Royal Rumble match. You can check out that announcement below.

So, it looks like Cena is out and Braun Strowman is all in for the Royal Rumble match. Strowman was previously announced as the opponent for Brock Lesnar in the Universal title match. Instead, Strowman was taken out of the match, and Finn Balor won a No. 1 contender’s match instead to receive the title shot against Lesnar.
