Royal Rumble rumours thread

Several more names are now in St. Louis for the WWE Royal Rumble on Saturday.

Former WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn is in town and is expected to return to the ring for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match on Saturday, according to PWInsider. Kaitlyn has not wrestled for WWE since the 2018 Mae Young Classic, but she did appear in a RAW Reunion segment on July 22, 2019. She hasn’t done much in pro wrestling since WWE released her in January 2014. She announced her retirement a few months after the release.

WWE Hall of Famers JBL, Jerry Lawler and Ivory are also in town. We reported before that WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle was going to be in town as WWE has discussed possibly bringing him back to the company, and PWInsider has confirmed that he is also in St. Louis this weekend.

It’s likely that Lawler and JBL will be on the Royal Rumble Kickoff pre-show tomorrow night, but that has not been confirmed. There’s no word yet on why Ivory is in town. She has not wrestled since the WWE Evolution Battle Royal in October 2018, the same year she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

It’s very likely that WWE is bringing several former talents in to St. Louis to serve as potential Rumble entrant replacements, especially with potential changes due to COVID-19. Some are also filming for various WWE documentaries and projects while in town this weekend.

I was hoping Kaitlyn would be in it, I love her. It'll be great to see her back in the ring again. Been a while since the Mae Young Classic. She's a good name to get in to it.

Kaitlyn and AJ was the best pre-women’s revolution feud IMO. If she returns I’ll be hype

Better than Trish/Mickie?

Better than Trish/Mickie?

V-licks are always fun.

I will say, a couple months ago I watched a few shows from back when Kaitlyn and AJ were having their feud and it kinda sucked to me. May be with hindsight, knowing how much better the women's division has gotten in general... But tbh unhinged Kaitlyn was pretty lame to me.

Former WWE Divas Champion Jillian Hall is also in St. Louis for tonight’s WWE Royal Rumble event.

It looks like Hall will be working the Women’s Royal Rumble as she was at the rehearsal held on Friday night, according to PWInsider. There were well over 30 women at the rehearsal for the Women’s Rumble.

"There were well over 30 women at the rehearsal"

[Brandon Blaze]

well at least they thought to bring in more women than they needed so we are left guessing will they do something this terrible or not

40-Woman Rumble won by Ronda Rousey would be fucking hilarious.
