X-Pac Shuts Down Rumours Of WWE Royal Rumble Return

Just who will show up at the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble? What storied name from WWE’s past could show up in an attempt to win the 30-man spectacular? Well according to WWE Hall of Famer X-Pac, it won’t be him. 

The legendary NWO and D-Generation X member has been tipped to appear in the Rumble, but taking to X/Twitter, the former WWE European Champion poured scorn on the idea:

“I can still go at the drop of hat, at least for a few minutes. I can do all my kicks, except the one in the corner & I can do that again with a few weeks training. I'm at least month away from taking my shirt off in public, so zero chance I'll be in the Rumble,” posted X-Pac, aka Sean Waltman.

Waltman last wrestled in March 2022, suffering a torn bicep in a singles loss to Joey Janela in GCW. Since his last bout, Waltman has claimed he would not return to in-ring action unless it was ‘something big’, and whilst he has said no to the Rumble, this could all be a ruse.

WWE Royal Rumble takes place on January 27 from Florida’s Tropicana Field.
