1. CM Punk can return at WWE Royal Rumble 2024

It is well known that the relationship between Punk and company’s EVP has become increasingly delicate and strained in recent times. If this situation does not improve rapidly, it is possible that “The Voice of the Voiceless” could follow a similar path with AEW like he did with WWE in past and who knows CM Punk pops up at Royal Rumble.
2. Big E can return at WWE Royal Rumble 2024
Big E is currently out of action in WWE due to a severe neck injury he sustained a year ago. The injury was so grave that his return to the ring seemed highly unlikely. However, there is good news on the horizon as he recently revealed that he has made a full recovery and his return is expected to happen sooner rather than later.
Royal Rumble seems to be a perfect stage where he could make his much awaited return, entering the thrilling 30 men Elimination match. This opportunity would allow him to earn a chance at the title, which he rightfully deserves as his championship reign has been long overdue.
3. The Rock
For the past several months, rumors have been circulating about the potential return of The Rock to WWE. Fans anxiously wait each pay-per-view, hoping to see confrontation between him and Roman Reigns.
If schedules allowed…. Reigns keeps the belt until Royal Rumble 2024… loses it to the Rock… Cody beats Rock at #WrestleMania 40. Job done! Sorted!

The planned rivalry between The Rock and Roman Reigns has faced a significant delay, which has added even more excitement to the situation. So it is speculated that Brahma Bull might make his grand entrance at the Royal Rumble in 2024 and solidify his appearance for WrestleMania later that year.
4. Bad Bunny
The match against Damian Priest at Backlash solidified Bad Bunny’s status as a legitimate force in WWE. Seeing his performance it is evident that Bad Bunny will be booked more oftenly.
Being WWE’s hot commodity right now, Triple H will definitely approach Bad Bunny to make a surprise appearance at Royal Rumble. Furthermore, by involving Bad Banny in Royal Rumble, WWE can also outline his roadmap leading up to WrestleMania 39.
5. Bray Wyatt
Currently, Bray Wyatt has not received medical clearance to participate in wrestling matches, and there is no definite timeline for his return. Due to WWE’s previous challenges in booking Bray Wyatt, it is possible that upon his return, he may revert to his previous persona known as the “Eater of Worlds.”

Leading up to the Royal Rumble, we may witness a gradual buildup involving the reunion of Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman, with Bray Wyatt potentially recovering in the meantime. If all goes well, Bray Wyatt could make his comeback at the Royal Rumble event, thus bringing The Wyatt Family back together once again.
