Hall of Famer teases being at WWE Royal Rumble 2023

So far, two matches, aside from the men's and women's 30-man rumble match, have been announced for the January 28 show. Bray Wyatt and LA Knight will battle it out on a Pitch Black Match, while Roman Reigns will defend the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. However, many surprising names might also appear in the Alamodome.

The official poster for the January premium live event has possibly hinted at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's return to wrestling. Names like Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar were also teased for a possible comeback.

Surprisingly, another name that is expected to be in attendance for WWE Royal Rumble 2023 is Hall of Famer Ric Flair. The Nature Boy shared that he and Triple H made up after their fallout regarding "The Man" nickname and revealed that he would be present at the premium live event. However, it's unlikely that he will appear on TV during the show.

"I'm coming to the Royal Rumble. Oh, yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I know [WrestleMania is upon us]. But I mean you're gonna see a lot of me now. I'm back in. Me and Hunter hugged. We made up. I'm back in man. You ain't getting rid of Naitch," said Flair.
