Folks, it’s Royal Rumble weekend, and you know what that means—former WWE stars mysteriously appearing in the host city like it’s WrestleMania 30 all over again. Reports are flying in, and if you were hoping for big surprises in this year’s Rumble, buckle up, because the list of possible entrants is STACKED.
WHO’S BEEN SPOTTED IN INDY?
🔹 Nikki Bella – The former Divas Champion is in town, but is she entering the Women’s Rumble? Or is she just there to remind everyone that reality TV and wrestling are basically the same thing? She hasn’t wrestled since 2022, but with the Bellas open to a return, anything is possible.
🔹 Roxanne Perez – The former NXT Women’s Champion is reportedly in town, which means she might be making her third straight Royal Rumble appearance. Or, she might just be there to shake her head at the chaos.
🔹 Matt Cardona (FKA Zack Ryder) – Internet Champion. Woo Woo Woo. Last Rumble appearance? 2015. Current reason to be in town? Married to Chelsea Green, aka “Queen of Winning by DQ.” Could he finally return to WWE, or is he just there to steal Chelsea’s kendo stick?
🔹 Mickie James – Former Women’s Champion and Royal Rumble moment-maker (looking at you, 2022). She’s currently a coach on WWE LFG: Legends & Future Greats, so she could just be doing promo work… OR she could be entering the Rumble and making history again.
🔹 Mick Foley – The Hardcore Legend. WWE Hall of Famer. The man who has entered one Rumble match under three different personas. If he’s in town, things just got a lot more interesting.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE RUMBLE?
🔥 Surprises are coming. Whether it’s Nikki Bella, Mickie James, or a major return like Cardona, WWE is clearly loading this show with big names.
🔥 We could see legends mixing it up. Mick Foley appearing? Matt Cardona possibly returning? The Rumble might become a collision of generations.
🔥 If “The King of the Indies” is in play, someone is getting a BIG debut or return. Could we see an AEW or NJPW surprise? Stranger things have happened.
Bottom line? Royal Rumble 2025 is about to be a wild ride. Get ready for big surprises, nostalgia pops, and at least one person getting eliminated in under 10 seconds.
