Triple H could bring back recently released star at Royal Rumble, according to WWE legend

WWE legend Mickie James made a wild prediction about Triple H possibly bringing a released superstar back in time for the Royal Rumble.

Triple H has not shied away from signing people since taking over the creative duties following Vince McMahon's retirement.

Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Mia Yim, Johnny Gargano, Dakota Kai, Tegan Nox, Emma, Dexter Lumis, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Karrion Kross are some of the names who have found their way back into the company since the Game ascended to the creative throne.

Royal Rumble is famous for welcoming back legends and debuting superstars. The likes of AJ Styles and Vader have made their WWE debuts at the multi-man extravaganza. Royal Rumble has also seen some iconic returns like John Cena, Edge, and Triple H.

On Busted Open Radio, former Divas Champion Mickie James speculated that recently departed star Sasha Banks could be back in time for the Women's Royal Rumble later this month.

"Yeah, you know, she [Sasha Banks] could be back in time for the [Royal] Rumble. You never know," Mickie James said. [5:30 - 5:35]

Mickie James was part of the Women's Royal Rumble in 2022. She made history as she entered the Rumble while being the active IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion.
