In an update on WWE’s plans to close out the 2013 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view, right now the script for the event is calling for CM Punk vs. The Rock to be the semi main event, with the Rumble match itself closing the show, however that can all change between now and the event on January 27th.

WWE officials feel that despite the CM Punk vs. The Rock match for the WWE Championship being hyped heavily, that they need to continue the traditional way of doing things and have the Rumble match/Rumble winner close out the show.

The script also notes that there will be a Royal Rumble pre-show held on YouTube, Facebook and WWE.com and that the winner will gain entry into the 2013 WWE Royal Rumble Match.
