Details on WWE Royal Rumble meetings
Added 2023-01-20 22:07:16 +0000 UTCWWE had some of their sets of meetings to discuss the upcoming Royal Rumble match.
Fightful Select has learned that while several veterans have contacted WWE about making Royal Rumble appearances, WWE was said to have been leaning out of that in some cases in favor of what they call "non traditional surprises." Unsure of what that meant, creative and producers were soliciting pitches for such a thing. Last year, WWE were adamant in leaning out of NXT names appearing in the Royal Rumble match.
In addition, we're told that as of last week, Ronda Rousey actually wasn't planned for the Royal Rumble PPV, at the time she lost the title, which can clearly change. Until December, Rousey was scheduled for the show in a singles match.
In addition we were told that WWE was very confident in their women's roster as is with the hires and call-ups over the last year, and how it would play into the Royal Rumble match. Last year, WWE had to call in numerous veterans because mass releases led them with a depleted roster. Jason Cade has also been brought in to help with the Royal Rumble, and TJ Wilson will be on hand. Last year, Wilson (Tyson Kidd) wasn't around and WWE had to bring in Fit Finlay to help.

Rehabbing. I believe I remember it being some stem cell work.

2023-01-20 23:50:27 +0000 UTCI’m thinking The Great Muta since his very last match as Keiji Muto is next month in the Tokyo Dome.

2023-01-20 23:21:44 +0000 UTCI wish there were more cool returns for the women’s rumble. They brought back too many people no one cares about at once it’ll make it predictable and boring

2023-01-20 23:16:43 +0000 UTCMy guess: Corey Graves, Booker T, Bad Bunny, Pat McAfee, Logan Paul, X-Pac (finally), Johnny Knoxville again (maybe), Bad News Barrett
