The Royal Rumble PPV takes place next Sunday night. WWE will also be doing a ‘Worlds Collide’ show on Saturday night with several NXT vs NXT UK matches.
We have a few spoilers to pass your way about some potential returns that could happen during Royal Rumble weekend. An obvious spoiler warning applies to the rest of this post.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Jinder Mahal and Velveteen Dream are scheduled to be in Houston for Royal Rumble weekend. Here is what Johnson wrote:
PWInsider.com has been told by multiple sources that NXT star The Velveteen Dream (who has been off TV with a back issue, but has been at all NXT TV tapings and the Performance Center regularly) and Jinder Mahal (who has been out since last year with a torn ACL) are slated to be in Houston, Texas for Royal Rumble weekend.
While this does not confirm either are working the Royal Rumble match, we can confirm they will be in Texas next weekend and a lot of slots are still open, so stay tuned.
Johnson also noted this week that The Undertaker was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center. This has led to speculation that he could be getting some training in before the Royal Rumble match.
We will let you know if we hear anything more.
