The WWE Royal Rumble is knocking at our door. And the entire community is buzzing with the wild anticipation of possible matches, outcomes, and most fascinatingly the surprise elements WWE could include like every regular year to add to the zest.

One of the marquee PLEs of the WWE calendar is set to bring out the 2024 edition on Saturday, January 27, from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. While some big names like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch, have already been confirmed for the showdown, one can’t help but speculate some other names to come out of the blue at the Rumble stage this month.

Royal Rumble never fails to deliver on the shock factor. One look at the rich records reveals how WWE pulled out some bombshell additions to bewilder fans. In 2020, it was Hall of Famer, Edge, who astonished the crowd coming out straight from his retirement after a long nine years. In 2008, John Cena made the great rounds making a greater comeback from injury and leaving the arena with the victory. Now, what can 2024 bring to the table in the next 2 weeks?

The Rock

The first on the list must be none other than The Rock. The WWE icon is highly likely to square off in a dream match with his cousin, Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. For this, he has to punch his ticket to the biggest stage first, Philadelphia. With Elimination Chamber not being an option anymore, he’s left with the only opportunity to secure his entry to the Show of the Shows through a big Royal Rumble win.

So, there’s a huge chance for the company to give the generational star that 30th spot, exclusively reserved for the surprise entrant.

LA Knight

Another good fit for the 30th spot is LA Knight. Although he has already scheduled a fatal four-way match against Roman Reigns, WWE could also pull The Megastar card as a shocker in the 30th spot.

Given his colossal popularity, it wouldn’t be a wrong call, at least.

Sean “X-Pac” Waltman

The third on our list is Sean “X-Pac” Waltman after a report came out last week regarding his rumored surprise entry in the 2024 Royal Rumble card. Although he decided to dismiss the news via Twitter, not many will buy that tactic. He could very likely be the one coming out of the dark as the 30th man of the match.

Now, coming to the women’s roster, a recent report showed the potential of Liv Morgan snapping back at the Rumble stage. Ending her prolonged injury time-off, she might just make an incredible part of the 30 women’s team.

Naomi

Apart from the sidelined star, there is Naomi Aka Trinity Fatu, who could make her grand WWE return straight from the TNA wrestling and join forces with the other 29 fierce females.
