Debuts and Returns we might see at Royal Rumble

Injury returnees

Could Sami Zayn return in time for the Royal Rumble?

John Cena, Triple H and Edge all returned from injuries and caused a raucous crowd reaction during various Royal Rumbles in the past.

While the names of the stars currently injured aren't as big as the future Hall Of Famers, it doesn't mean we won't see some faces we haven't seen in some time.

Fandango has been on the shelf with a shoulder injury since July. His original timetable for a return was sixth months.

That would put him right in line with a return in January. While he's not a big name, he'd still get some laughs in the match if he returns.

Like Fandango, Tye Dillinger has been out with a hand injury. He debuted at #10 last year, but will he make it two years in a row at his number?

And then two wrestlers a little higher in the pecking order, Luke Harper and Sami Zayn, could possibly return in time for the match.

Harper has been out over the last few months with a hand injury but hadn't been featured on television since his tag partner, Erick Rowan, got injured.

Could Harper return in some fashion?

Sami Zayn has also been out of action since July with multiple surgeries to his collarbone/shoulder area. The timetable for his return might be more than eight months, but he might be able to return earlier since he's dealt with the injuries before.
