“Mr. Royal Rumble” is a hilarious tale featuring Kofi Kingston, who narrates the countdown of his zaniest moments. AJ Styles recollects his early beginnings in “I Am Phenomenal” as a rookie wrestler standing among his icons and rivals. Let’s face it, I also wanted to cheer “Woo!” when I saw Ric Flair show up in the pages.
2) The Guest Stars!
Be on the lookout for The Miz, The Undertaker, and Dolph Ziggler inside the special installment! I definitely got a kick out of seeing The Ultimate Warrior pop up!
