1) CM Punk
A CM Punk return at the 2020 Royal Rumble probably won’t happen, but would it ever be awesome.
Punk is currently involved in a lawsuit with WWE after his controversial podcast with Colt Cabana where he trashed all things WWE. It was a messy breakup, leaving many to think that he will never return to the company.
If we know one thing about Vince McMahon, it is that good business always trumps personal matters. We have seen it on countless occasions that if there is a dollar to be made, Vince McMahon will put aside his ego and reconcile.
Punk had a wake-up call in his fight at UFC 203. The experiment is over, he lost in the first round of his first-ever UFC fight. Maybe he goes back to wrestling, where he made his name. Imagine the crowd going silent for the next entry into the Royal Rumble:
“Look into my eyes, what do you see? Cult of Personality”
I am sure the building would explode. Maybe not realistic but it would certainly be SHOCKING.
Likelihood – 1/10, shock value – 10/10

Thank you for reading!!! If you enjoyed the article, please do us a favor and share it!! Let us know your top choice for 2020 Royal Rumble returns.
Balor has an automatic rematch so he does not need to be in the rumble at all.
Would love Punk to return. Rey Mysterio could work well with the cruiser weights. Triple H will be in the rumble no doubt. He won’t rest till he is 15 time world champion.
