WWE will be opening the ‘forbidden door’ at the Royal Rumble when IMPACT Women’s Champion Mickie James appears at the Premium Live Event, but now it is being rumoured that another major name will be making a surprise appearance at the show.
According to a report from WrestleVotes, we may well be seeing a name from the likes of AEW, IMPACT or NJPW make their way to the Rumble match.
“Had more than 1 source this weekend, w/o me directly asking, state they believe WWE will try for an ‘unexpected’ forbidden door entrant for the Men’s Royal Rumble” WrestleVotes tweeted.
“Personally I’m sceptical it happens, but I can confirm WWE is at least open to the idea. Which is exciting enough” the reliable account noted.
Some of the names being banded around are Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley or Bryan Danielson, but there’s no word if any of those people appear in the match.
