Former WWE star Chris Masters recently commented on his potential return to WWE. He has been teasing making his return at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble 2023. Many surprising names often show up for Royal Rumble matches. Masters previously took to Twitter to hint that he could be one of the former WWE names slated to compete at this year’s event.
Chris Masters talks about Bobby Lashley
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Masters noted that he specifically wants to face off against Bobby Lashley.
Wanting it to be the Master Lock vs the Hurt Lock, Masters said:
‘Oh, there’s a lot of connections there. I’m kind of like a ghost from his past at this point. But like I just feel like you know in the right scenario you know, you have Lashley dominating with the hurt lock and then you were to hear that OG Chris Masters theme.
‘I feel like and again this more is because everybody you know, I feel like since I’ve kind of started within the last year and this year to petition for the Rumble. Again, it’s not as I don’t feel like I’m ever coming back to WWE full time.
‘For me, it would just be it would be great to come back to the Rumble to, you know, sort of make amends with certain people within the company, but also to show like you were saying before, show the WWE Universe the polished performer that I become and like, yeah, I wasn’t able to do it there, unfortunately. But I did get there.
‘And so for me, that would be, that would feel good. And like again, and but the biggest thing being about that oh sh*t moment of having that moment of me coming down the aisle and having like, some guy sitting next to his buddy slap on the chest, like ’˜Oh, my God, Hurt Lock vs. Master Lock, it’s gonna happen.’
‘Yeah, that’s what it’s about. So like, it’s really not out of a place of selfishness and we’re like, let’s, let’s have Chris Masters come back full time. But like, for all those reasons, it would be awesome.’
Lashley has been announced for the men’s Royal Rumble match, so if Masters wants to clash with him on January 28, he’ll have to enter the 30-man over the top rope battle royal.
