Roman Reigns' former opponent could reportedly return at WWE Royal Rumble 2023
WWE Royal Rumble is the season of big returns and debuts, and the upcoming edition could see Roman Reigns' former opponent, Logan Paul, return to action after a three-month absence.
The Maverick was last seen inside the squared circle at Crown Jewel in November 2022, where he faced off against Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Paul came close to usurping Reigns, but in the end, Bloodline's number advantage ensured that the Tribal Chief reigned supreme.
After the match, Logan Paul revealed that he suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and ACL. However, it was later revealed that he had only sprained his meniscus and MCL.
The social media megastar could soon make a comeback, as per PWInsider. The news source stated that Paul "is absolutely being talked about in regards to an appearance" at Royal Rumble, as long as his knee is rehabbed and he's ready to go.
It’s being reported by @PWInsidercom that Edge, Beth Phoenix, Logan Paul and Doudrop are all being discussed as returns at the #RoyalRumble event.

Roman Reigns will face Kevin Owens at WWE Royal Rumble
Roman Reigns last defended his world title against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel 2022 in Saudi Arabia. The Tribal Chief has wrestled in just two matches since then, with John Cena and Kevin Owens handing him his first clean loss in over three years.
The Tribal Chief blamed the loss on Sami Zayn, stating he was not the one who got pinned. Reigns even teased betraying the Honorary Uce before Kevin Owens came out to interrupt him.
The Prizefighter stressed that Roman Reigns' problem is with him and that the two should settle their differences inside the squared circle. A bout between them was made official for Royal Rumble. The Tribal Chief also gave Sami a chance to redeem himself by pitting him in a match against KO. The two former best friends will face off on the upcoming edition of SmackDown.
