Former WWE Champion Will Return at the Royal Rumble Under One Condition
A former WWE champion has expressed interest in returning for the Royal Rumble 2024, with a specific condition. The event, scheduled for next month at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida, is already generating excitement with announcements from Cody Rhodes and CM Punk about their participation in the Men’s Royal Rumble match.
Mickie James, a former WWE star, stated her terms for a comeback in an interview on “Gabby AF.” James, who last competed in the event in 2021, declared that she would only return if she was guaranteed a victory. “I’m not coming back at this Rumble unless I’m winning because Hardcore Country at WrestleMania? It prints itself. Because the winner gets a title shot at WrestleMania. If you win the Rumble, you automatically get a title shot,” she said.
This year’s Royal Rumble winner, Cody Rhodes, faced Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39, where Reigns retained the title with assistance from Solo Sikoa. Rhodes is determined to win again next month to continue his storyline against Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
The anticipation for the Royal Rumble is mounting, with fans eager to see which superstars will secure their spots for WrestleMania.
