Here are some Royal Rumble returns that could happen in 2020.
10) Jeff Hardy
Back in April, The Hardy Boyz were forced to vacate the Smackdown Tag Team Championships after Jeff Hardy suffered a knee injury. During his time off, Jeff ran into some trouble with the law and was arrested for DUI.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Jeff’s original return date was supposed to be in November. Instead, they are having Jeff take care of his personal and legal issues prior to his return.
Since Jeff has recovered from his injury, we are going to include him on this list. I could see WWE bringing him back during the 2020 Royal Rumble match. Fans always pop for Jeff, so he would be a nice surprise for the match. Let’s just hope that Jeff has things sorted out before this return happens.
9) Naomi
Naomi has been out of action from WWE since July. In an Instagram post, she revealed that she has been taking time off due to personal and health reasons.
I think that Naomi is a candidate to return during the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble match. Her health (mental and physical) is the most important thing, so hopefully, she is good to come back in January. If that is the case, WWE could save her return for the Rumble match.
The women’s division on either brand could use Naomi. She would be a great addition to either RAW or Smackdown. Update: With The Usos recently returning to Smackdown, Naomi seems more likely for the blue brand.
8) John Cena
Another name to watch out for is John Cena. There are rumors that Cena wants to have a ‘substantial role’ at Wrestlemania 36 this year. If that is the case, an appearance at the Royal Rumble could make sense to set his feud into motion for Wrestlemania.
Cena would be a fun return during the Royal Rumble match. He could either win it and challenge Brock Lesnar or Bray Wyatt for his 17th World Title win. Or, he could get eliminated from the match, which would set his Wrestlemania feud into motion. Either way, I think that Cena is someone to watch out for.
