The Royal Rumble pay-per-view is quickly approaching, and in recent weeks men and women from Raw and SmackDown have been declaring themselves for their respective Royal Rumble matches.
The lack of effort that it takes to enter the Royal Rumble match has been criticized online, and former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz recently took to Twitter to question why everyone doesn’t just declare themselves for the match immediately.
“Haven’t seen Raw in a while. You can “declare” yourself to be in the Royal Rumble? Is there a reason why everybody doesn’t do this immediately? What about surprise legends? Are there multiple Doinks declaring themselves in the Rumble right now? Which Doink gets priority?!”

Former WWE star and current Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champion Karl Anderson chimed in on the conversation, and he jokingly declared himself and Luke Gallows for the Royal Rumble match.
“Be careful Brian, as you kno and I’ve seen with humans there, you’ll drive yourself insane….. But with your logic, here we go, #GoodBrothers declare ourselves in the rumble ! @IMPACTWRESTLING @AEW”
