We will see a couple more in-ring returns as Beth Phoenix and Maryse team up with their respective spouses, Edge and The Miz. Also, with a few spots remaining in both Rumble matches, plenty of other surprises could be on the cards! Who will return this year?

2022 will mark the Rumble debuts for several young WWE Superstars. Anticipation is high over how they will fare in the Battle Royale. Austin Theory has been quite impressive on RAW and will look to explode into the main event scene while Aliyah is quickly gaining momentum.
The Street Profits will also look to make an impact, but no Rumble debutant is made for the match like Omos is. The 7-foot giant promises to have a dominant showing and eliminate multiple stars. Will he rise to the top?

The best part about the Royal Rumble is that it is just the beginning of the journey towards WWE's biggest event of the year. The winner of the men's and women's Rumble matches will earn world title matches at WrestleMania 38 in April.
Roman Reigns will defend the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins, while WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will face Bobby Lashley. Whether they both retain their titles or not, we can expect several twists and turns on the Road to WrestleMania.
This event always sets the scene for The Grandest Stage of Them All, where history favors the challengers. Five of the past six Rumble winners have gone on to win the world title at WrestleMania. Who will be the next this time?
