WWE usually uses the Royal Rumble to give fans some pleasant surprises. Whether it’s a return, a debut, or a cameo, those shock entries have always been a fun part of the pay per view. It seems WWE may have locked down one of those surprises. If you’d like to remain surprised, please stop reading as this could be a spoiler.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer has reported Rhea Ripley is expected to officially join the main roster at the Royal Rumble, with him noting that at this point it just makes sense.
“Rhea Ripley is on the main roster. She was gonna debut a couple of weeks ago and they put it off for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks is now. Debuting her as a surprise in the Rumble and winning the Rumble, that just makes sense.”
Ripley has long been rumored for a main roster call up, and her arrival at the Royal Rumble would be a great way to debut her, especially with a victory. It would allow the former NXT Women’s Champion to hit the ground running and allow WWE to make a statement of intent that they’re building a brand new star in Ripley.
