In what could be a major spoiler for the upcoming men's Royal Rumble, a former authority figure is reportedly set to make his return in the match.
Warning: Potential Spoilers ahead.
Steve Carrier of Ringside News has reported that former SmackDown commissioner Shane McMahon is booked to be in the men's Rumble match this weekend. However, the report adds that there's no confirmation yet on whether this would be a one-off appearance from Shane-O-Mac, or it would lead to a WrestleMania program.
"Shane McMahon will be in the 2022 Royal Rumble. No word on if he has a WrestleMania program, but we wouldn't be surprised on that either," wrote Steve Carrier.
McMahon last wrestled for WWE at last year's WrestleMania. On Night One of the event, he faced Braun Strowman in a steel cage match. It was The Monster Among Men who picked up a dominating victory over Shane McMahon.
