5. Melina
While Carlito was advertised for Raw Legends Night but didn’t appear, we did see former Women’s Champion Melina make an appearance on the show during alongside Lucha House Party.
A report emerged last year indicating that Melina would be returning to TV on a full-time basis, with reports suggesting she was being prepped for a run in NXT. However, Melina has strongly denied these reports.
With her appearing on the show last week, it’s entirely possible that the former champion appears in the women’s Royal Rumble for her first wrestling match since January 2020, potentially setting up a full-time run with the company.
4. Edge
As previously mentioned, Edge made a shock return in the 2020 Royal Rumble match after just shy of nine years out of the ring.
While a potential return at this year’s show would be certainly less impactful than his comeback at last year’s show, it would be great to see the former WWE Champion make his return from injury in the match.
It has been reported that Randy Orton and Edge will go one-on-one for the third time in twelve months at WrestleMania this year, and it seems like the Royal Rumble would be the perfect time to have Edge return and set the match up.
Reports suggested that Edge would be out for around eight months when he suffered his bicep injury back in June, so the timeline somewhat lines up to have the WWE Hall of Famer make his comeback at this month’s pay-per-view.
3. Tessa Blanchard
Tessa Blanchard left IMPACT Wrestling last Summer, and people immediately began speculating that the former IMPACT wrestler would be joining WWE.
However, we haven’t had Blanchard appear for WWE in any capacity since then, but some have speculated that WWE could have worked out a deal to have her debut as part of the women’s Royal Rumble match this month.
This is a bit of an out-there pick, and no reports are suggesting that Blanchard has even agreed to join the company, nevermind debut in the Royal Rumble match, but it certainly isn’t out of the realms of possibility that this does happen.
