Over the years, many superstars have made their WWE returns to a positive reaction from fans. One star who is open to making his comeback as part of the iconic Royal Rumble match is Sam Houston.
The 59-year-old has a solid connection to the company's marquee battle royal as he competed in the first edition of the match in 1988. He lasted more than 14 minutes in the contest.
In an interview with Pancakes and Powerslams, Sam Houston was asked if he was open to a WWE return and, if so, how he would like to appear in the company. The veteran replied:
"I mean, I might do a Royal Rumble return. I would like to do that, cause I (...) since I was in the very first one. When they inducted [Jim] Duggan into the Hall of Fame, which I thought was the greatest thing in the world, they played a clip of him going to the ring, and it was good because, in that clip, I was in the ring doing really good for about, two and a half seconds."
