5 AEW stars who would be perfect surprise entrants in the 2022 WWE men's Royal Rumble
WWE's annual Royal Rumble is nearly here, and there has been heavy speculation about potential AEW talents who might appear at the premium live event. The world of wrestling was recently shocked as WWE recently teased the opening of the Forbidden Door with other promotions.
The announcement was made that current Impact Knockouts World Champion, Mickie James, would compete in the women's Royal Rumble. Since then, there have been rumors about potential surprise entrants for this year's men's Royal Rumble. Specifically, fans have been wondering whether All Elite talent might make a surprise appearance in WWE.
Welcome to the 2022 Men's #RoyalRumble Match, @FightOwensFight! https://t.co/rWjrThOZuD
Here are a few All Elite wrestlers who would be perfect entrants into this year's men's Royal Rumble match.
#5. AEW fans see Miro's redemption
For 100 days I have served as the greatest champion in all of wrestling. Now bring me your Mad King next @MadKing1981 https://t.co/bqCB4Svjh7
Rusev's first introduction to the mainstream WWE Universe was through the Royal Rumble. Entering the Rumble back in 2014, Rusev was the sole NXT performer to appear in the match. Though he lasted less than 10 minutes, his debut made an immediate impact.
Since leaving WWE, Miro has found a loyal fan following in All Elite Wrestling. Under his Redeemer gimmick, he has greatly improved his in-ring work and become far more grizzled than he had been in WWE. Should Miro return to the company, it would only make sense for him to reappear in the match that he made his main roster debut on.
