Former WWE superstar Shane McMahon has become an unlikely name to return at the 2022 Royal Rumble. The son of Chairman Vince McMahon has not been seen since last years Wrestlemania, when he lost in a cage match to Braun Strowman.
A Shane McMahon return is one that is a mixed bag for fans. Some welcome back the star of the Attitude Era whilst others felt that he wore out his welcome during his recent stint in WWE.
Fightful has reported that Shane McMahon is in town and has been spotted in St Louis prior to the Rumble. PWInsider has backed up those claims, and themselves claim that he is set to make his return during the men’s Royal Rumble match.
WWE have confirmed 25 men so far for the men’s Royal Rumble. That leaves five more spots for surprise Royal Rumble returns, and sources claim that Shane McMahon is one of them.
Hamish is a writer and podcaster and wrestling fan who is a key part of the Atletifo team.
After playing countless hours of WrestleMania X8 on the Gamecube, he discovered Rey Mysterio getting his head crushed by The Great Khali, and thus a love for professional wrestling was born.
He is also a Media Graduate, as well as writing for multiple sites about Premier League football and the culture of Wales – his home country.
