According to twitter, and his Trending as a result, Alex Riley was in there. Albeit apparently briefly.

Robbie

Tensai was also in there

I highly doubt that everybody in the brawl tonight will be in the real thing. That would mean 28 of the 30 spots would be filled, plus one more if you say the loser of the Del Rio/Big Show match will be in it. That leaves one surprise spot, and I’ve already heard that the New Age Outlaws are basically confirmed for the match, so obviously that doesn’t add up. I could see Yoshi, JTG, McGillicutty, Riley, and/or Primo all getting cut from the match, possibly more. Usually there are about 3 to 5 surprises so I think some of those low card guys getting cut makes perfect sense.

I hope MVP, Christian, Mark Henry, and Shelton Benjamin are in the rumble

I think I saw Epcio, but it could of been Primo, but I don’t see why one would be in and not the other
H.M.

Undertaker, Christian, Mark Henry, Lesnar, or Stone Cold(highly unlikely I know) would all be pleasant surprises.
H.M.

Err, what about the Shield?
Darrel

Jimmy and Jey Usos were involved in the brawl! I saw them in one of the photos at WWE’s website.
Darrel

Epico was there as well buddy!
Mike McCarthy
