WWE Royal Rumble is right around the corner and the show often sees some major surprises. It seems that this year it will not be any different. Reports suggest that the show is set to feature some “non-traditional” surprises during this year’s Royal Rumble matches.
WWE chalking out some surprises for Royal Rumble
In years past, the promotion would bring back legends of the past as surprise entrants into the Royal Rumble match. Fans love seeing their favorites from years past. One of the best examples of that is the incredible reaction Diesel (Kevin Nash) received from the WWE Universe when he entered the 2011 Rumble match.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, several WWE veterans have contacted the company to get booked for the upcoming premium live event on January 28. The report notes that the company is said to be opting to go in a different direction in some cases and will be featuring “non-traditional surprises” during the Royal Rumble matches next weekend.
Cody Rhodes is slated to win the highly-anticipated match. He has been out of action since the episode of RAW following Hell in a Cell 2022. The American Nightmare defeated Seth Rollins for the third time in a row at the premium live event but entered the match with a torn pectoral muscle he suffered while training. The 37-year-old earned the respect of the WWE Universe for putting on a terrific match while clearly in incredible pain.
