“I Can Do All My Kicks”: Triple H’s Close Friend and Wrestling Legend Gives His Final Verdict Before a Rumored WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Return

The Royal Rumble is beloved by fans for one specific reason. It is not the chance to see the winner get a Main Event title shot at WrestleMania. It is the simple fact that there are always surprise returns at the Rumble that make the fans jump out of their seats. Ahead of the Royal Rumble 2024, Triple H’s best friend has made similar claims.

The Rumble has been home to many wrestlers returning to the company, like Edge. It has also been the place for debuts like the one of that of AJ Styles.

Triple H’s close friend X-Pac teases Rumble appearance

Starting his career in 1993 as the 1-2-3 Kid, Waltman didn’t think he’d have one of the most impactful careers of all time. Debuting in a match against Razor Ramon on Monday Night RAW, he would pick up the win and cement himself in the history books of the WWE.

Later in his career, he would win the Tag Team championship and challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. His match for the title against Bret Hart in July 1994 is still ranked as one of the greatest matches ever on RAW. Unfortunately, he would retire from pro wrestling in 2019 but would continue working with the WWE.

Talking to social media ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble, the 1-2-3 Kid had some words to excite the fans. He said, “I can still go at the drop of hat, at least for a few minutes. I can do all my kicks.” This got fans excited that he may be a surprise entry in the Rumble. While everyone knows he won’t be walking away as the winner it is purely the joy of watching him wrestle again that gets fans excited.

After making that claim, Pac also added, “I’m at least month away from taking my shirt off in public, so zero chance I’ll be in the Rumble.” This may be a tongue-in-cheek way of him saying that he might appear. Being close friends with Triple H means that this could be a possibility.

The many stars who returned at the Royal Rumble

After nine long months of absence, The Undertaker returned to the WWE at the 2007 Royal Rumble. As mentioned earlier, Edge returned to the company after almost a decade at the 2020 Royal Rumble.

Chris Jericho left the WWE in 2010 and returned at the 2016 Royal Rumble. These are some of the few examples that give fans hope that they could see X-Pac at this year’s Rumble. What do you think about Pac’s statement?
