One can hardly recall when WWE fans were this excited about the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. However, the hype of this year’s event has managed to revive fan enthusiasm. Though, all of that is due to the surprise returns that could be happening later this month.
If all reports turn out to be true, this year’s Royal Rumble could be the best in recent years
According to several reports, Royal Rumble 2023 will see big names like The Rock, Edge, Brock Lesnar, and Cody Rhodes making their return. Moreover, modern-day superstars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley are already all set to appear.
Now, considering Xero News’ Tweet, Steve Austin will also be on the show. Not to forget, a few celebrities might also make an appearance.
Nevertheless, WWE management deserves all the credit for building the hype despite all the backstage shake-ups. The show will take place on 28 January, which means all the claims will be tested in less than 10 days.
