7 WWE Royal Rumble rumors you need to know: Returning star to eliminate Brock Lesnar; 11-time world champion returning?

#6 Rumor killer on one of Lesnar's possible Mania opponents

Brock Lesnar

There have been a number of names floated in the last month as possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Amongst these possible names was Tyson Fury. Fury made his WWE debut at WWE Crown Jewel last year, beating Braun Strowman by countout.

Dave Meltzer spoke about this on Wrestling Observer Radio, and according to him it looks unlikely. Here's what Meltzer said about the matter:

“Lots of speculation regarding Tyson Fury & WrestleMania. The source said his fight at MGM Grand vs. Deontay Wilder on February 22 is crucial to him appearing in Tampa. If Wilder wins, Vince isn’t throwing $$ at a guy who just lost on PPV. So to a degree, the ball is in Fury’s court.”

#5 Shannon Moore could return at the Royal Rumble

Shannon Moore (R) could return at the Royal Rumble

One thing fans always expect at the Royal Rumble is former Superstars making surprise returns. We got Rey Mysterio making his return a couple of years ago and Jeff Jarrett during last year's men's Rumble match.

One former Superstar who could be returning during the Royal Rumble match is Shannon Moore. WrestlingNews.co reported that Shannon Moore could come back to work for the WWE.

It was also stated that WWE could have something for him at the Royal Rumble although the exact role hasn't been revealed. Moore wrestled WCW as part of 3-count before moving to WWE after the former's demise. Moore had a successful run in the cruiserweight divison, with his most memorable storyline coming as Matt Hardy V1's lackey.
