X-Pac had this to say about being listed to appear in a previous Royal Rumble.
It was revealed by Sean Waltman (X-Pac) that he had informed the WWE he would be ready to make an appearance in the 2022 Royal Rumble if they had any plans for him to be in it. However, the match came and Waltman was not in it at all.
In a conversation on Keepin It 100, Waltman reveals that he was informed by someone at the WWE that he was listed for the match.
“A couple of years ago, when I ended up actually having a couple of matches, I had a tag match with Matt Cardona and Brian Myers at GCW, and I had a singles match with Joey Janela; I told them I would be ready for the Rumble. Somebody, I’m not going to say who, I don’t want to stooge them off, but they had me listed for a Rumble appearance that somehow got scratched. This year, I ate what I wanted to over the holidays. I’m in good shape and everything, but I’m not in ‘go’ television shape. If you tell me, ‘Be ready in two months,’ I’ll get abs, but I’m not going to do that and be like, ‘I hope they call me.’ Fuck that,” he said.
Before the 2024 Royal Rumble, Waltman let fans know that he would not be in it and he was more than right about that.
