Some major names could be returning for the WWE Royal Rumble at the end of the month, at least according to rumors.
According to some cryptic tweets from Xero News, 5-time WCW Champion Booker T and Rob Van Dam could be returning for the 30-man match this year.
“S A can you Dig It?” and “I wonder if the 28th is gonna be the whole damn show?” were the teases from the account, which indicate both the former WCW star and ECW name.
Royal Rumble 2023 Entrant Rumors
It’s worth noting that this rumor from Xero News is just that, a rumor, as we are unable to verify whether or not the report is legitimate at this time.
We have enquired ourselves with a source regarding these two names, and it does appear that both are being discussed for the Rumble in some capacity.
WWE will often have names from the past appearing in the Rumble matches, so these two names are by no means a shock.
Both RVD and Booker have appeared as surprise entrants before, so it might feel a little flat on the night, but still cool to see two big names from the late-90s/early 2000s back at it.
