There are plenty of surprises that could happen at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV. I have put together a list of major surprises that WWE could be saving for the 30th entry in the Royal Rumble match. This is based on rumors and speculation from fans.
5) CM Punk
When you talk about surprise returns, you have to mention CM Punk. There has been so much buzz surrounding this guy since he made his first appearance on WWE Backstage. It seems clear that a lot of fans want to see him back in a WWE ring.
On Busted Open Radio, Bubba Ray Dudley had a great idea for Punk at the Royal Rumble. He pitched Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman being confronted by CM Punk, who would enter the Royal Rumble match in the 30th spot. The crowd would go bonkers and we would get a Wrestlemania main event between two of Paul Heyman’s protege’s.
Punk coming back to the ring would be the biggest surprise on this list. I have it at number 5 because I am not convinced yet that he will actually return to the ring. Still, it would make for an amazing surprise.
4) Killer Kross
Killer Kross is arguably the top free agent that is available right now in all of pro-wrestling. He is a name that his been mentioned in the rumor mill for months now.
The latest rumor is that Kross recently met with Triple H. There are also rumors that Kross won’t be available for bookings on Wrestlemania 36 weekend. These both seem to hint that Kross is going to be signing with WWE. Plus, Kross’ girlfriend, Scarlett Bordeaux is already signed to WWE.
A big surprise would be Kross showing up in the men’s Royal Rumble match. In this scenario, they would have him skip NXT and join the WWE main roster right away. WWE has done this with a few new signings in the past, so it isn’t unheard of.
Kross would be a big pick-up for WWE. He is a talented guy and will likely excel in either NXT or on the WWE main roster. I think that there is a chance we could see him as a Royal Rumble surprise.
