5 WWE Legends Who Could Be Surprise Royal Rumble Entrants

3) Booker T

Despite now being 53 years of age, Booker T is in absolutely ridiculously shape. To look at the WWE Hall of Famer, you could easily see him stepping back in the ring tomorrow. And that’s exactly what he’s set to do very shortly.

Surprisingly, the 5-time WCW Champion is coming out of retirement to fight ROW Heavyweight Champion Rex Andrews at Reality of Wrestling’s The Last Stand show on January 12th. Of course, Reality of Wrestling is a Texas-based wrestling organisation owned and ran by Booker and his wife Sharmell.

So with Book’s one-time return now confirmed, what’s to say that he doesn’t fancy one more in-ring appearance for the WWE? And what better time to do that than when the Royal Rumble takes place on January 27th?

To be fair to Booker T, he has previously said that if he ever had one more match it would be for Reality of Wrestling and that would be it. Then again, a short cameo stint in the Rumble doesn’t really constitute a full-blown match, does it? Plus Booker would certainly be in peak physical condition due to training for his ROW bout.

About the author

A longtime football and wrestling fan who's managed to somehow make a career out of writing and talking about such things, Andrew likes to think of himself as an entertaining, informative, and occasionally humourous writer and radio personality - although you may completely disagree with that.

When not writing or talking about the beautiful game and the squared circle, this Welshman can usually be found watching the not-so-mighty Wrexham AFC, scanning sports channels for any sort of football whatsoever, or re-watching classic Bret Hart matches of yesteryear. Elsewhere, Andrew is known as the Online Editor/Lead Writer of Starburst Magazine, a contributor for outlets such as TheRichest, WhatCulture, and TheQuiz.com, a radio presenter for CalonFM, and a panel host for Wales Comic Con.
