Naomi joined FCW in 2009 and has appeared in WWE since 2010. Originally a "Funkadactyl" backup dancer, Naomi has transformed and developed into a legit contender for the women's title on Smackdown.

As far as the men's Rumble, Elias announced himself as the first entrant:

"Elias is a legend. On January 28, it will be the performance of the year, when I enter and win the Royal Rumble match."

Elias joined WWE in 2014 after six years on the independent scene.
