WWE Royal Rumble battles Include unexpected visits by some legends

“I got a call from WWE, and the Rumble’s Sunday, right? And they want me to be at the Rumble on Sunday,” Nash said before realizing the Royal Rumble was on Saturday. “But, still, you want me to go over? I’m just like, I’ve gotta party! I got a Lions party I gotta prepare for! It’s f***ing three hours across the state each way.”

WWE occasionally utilizes legends in advertising videos for large premium live events. Hulk Hogan was recently featured in video packages on RAW, SmackDown, and at the start of the Royal Rumble telecast.

While some Royal Rumble battles include unexpected visits by legends, but this year’s 30-man event did not.

Kevin Nash also stated that he would have made a little cameo appearance while watching the show from the audience: “They want me to sit in a booth and maybe come by and catch me with a camera [to show] that I showed up at the Rumble. I didn’t hear anything about payday.”

Nash’s final encounter with WWE was in 2014 when he lasted two minutes and 36 seconds in the Royal Rumble.
