It Would Be A Record: WWE Hall Of Famer Wants To Return After 21 Years For Royal Rumble
One more on the list? We are about a month away from the 2023 Royal Rumble and that means it is time to start getting ready for one of the more complicated nights of the year. The Royal Rumble event will be featured around two of the show’s namesake matches, meaning sixty wrestlers will be needed. Some of them will be brought in from outside of WWE and one is willing to throw his hat in the ring.

During a recent interview with the Cheap Heat Productions podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Bushwhacker Luke was asked about returning to WWE for the 2023 Royal Rumble. Luke said he would absolutely be in the match if he was asked, despite turning 76 years old in January. Luke still wrestles regularly on the independent circuit and last wrestled for WWE at WrestleMania X7 in 2001.
It’s been a bit. Check out what Luke did during his career with the company:

Opinion: I’m not sure I can imagine WWE allowing someone Luke’s age into the Royal Rumble to be thrown over the top, but this would be the kind of surprise entry that could be a lot of fun. The Royal Rumble can use some nostalgia here and there and that is what Luke is offering. While this isn’t likely to happen, it’s a fun idea to think about and that’s more than you always get in WWE.
What do you think of the idea? Who do you want as a surprise Royal Rumble entrant? Let us know in the comments below.
