Potential WWE Royal Rumble Returnee Is Already In Town

Among several ongoing storylines heading into Royal Rumble 2024, perhaps the most anticipated one, according to a section of the WWE Universe, is the televised in-ring return of CM Punk.

Be that as it may, even the Second City Saint's comeback match can be trumped, if former WWE Champion Big E also makes his in-ring return at the show.

While it is highly unlikely owing to his condition, and based on what he said recently, fans online are hoping that the New Day star is only throwing them off the scent.

Per Fightful, Candice LeRae, Big E, Xavier Woods, and Titus O'Neil are already in town to do community events.

Among the lot, LeRae and Woods are presently on the RAW roster, and it is not out of the realm of possibility that both of them enter their respective Rumble matches.

On SmackDown, Montez Ford is a noteworthy superstar thanks to his athletic prowess and his association with Bobby Lashley.

The trio's popularity has only increased in the last few weeks, forcing the company to lean towards the babyface side.
