The Royal Rumble is one of the most exciting events of the wrestling calendar, as the Road to WrestleMania officially gets underway.
Over the years, part of the excitement around the Rumble has come from names from the past making surprise appearances in the match, whether as a one off or to kickstart a return run for the company.
This year’s show could host a number of potential surprise appearances from stars of the past.
Here are 8 former WWE stars who could return in the 2025 Royal Rumble matches.
8) Heath Slater
Heath Slater was released from WWE back in 2020, though he did make another cameo appearance on Raw a few months after his release.
Following his departure, Heath ended up signing with TNA, and with him now once again a free agent, he is free to show up wherever he wants.
Heath took to Twitter yesterday, where he teased a potential return in the Royal Rumble, asking for his music to be hit during the match.
Heath’s music hitting for a brief spot with Drew McIntyre would be a fun spot in the match.
