* For some reason, WWE.com has not yet recognized Yang & Moore's win on their list of entrants. It is unclear at this point if WWE is "ignoring" the match (which was rematched the next night in Johnstown with Miz & Morrison winning) or if they are waiting to add Yang & Moore to the list. Several fans at the Canton show have confirmed that the match was indeed announced to the crowd as a Rumble qualifier, and that Yang & Moore did win the bout.
