With Royal Rumble right around the corner, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H is expected to be busy with booking decisions regarding the 30-man match. Chris Masters recently revealed that he will not be making an appearance.
Chris Masters had two stints with WWE. His last appearance for the company came in 2011 when he faced Jack Swagger on Superstars in a losing effort. A day later, on August 5, 2011, the Masterpiece was released from his contract alongside Vladimir Kozlov and David Hart Smith. He is currently signed to NWA.
Royal Rumble is often an occasion for superstars to make unexpected returns. While that is likely to be the case this year as well, Chris Masters made it clear on Twitter that he has not been contacted by Triple H or WWE to make an appearance.
"Sorry to say I have not been contacted for The Rumble and will almost certainly not be taking part at this point," Chris Masters tweeted.
