Two new competitors have been confirmed for the men's WWE Royal Rumble match following this week's SmackDown.

The Royal Rumble occurs next Sunday, January 26th, in Houston, Texas. The total for the men's Rumble is now up to 19 competitors (out of 30 spots), while the women's Rumble only has four names confirmed as of now.

Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura were officially added to the men's Rumble listing over at WWE.com following SmackDown on Friday. Cain Velasquez has also declared he will be in the Rumble but WWE has not confirmed his entrance. Kane seemed to convey on Friday night that he would also be involved, but he is not yet listed on the Rumble's official page on WWE.com.

We also had a new stipulation confirmed for the Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan WWE Universal Championship match during SmackDown. That bout will now be a Strap Match.
