5 WWE Legends Who Could Be Surprise Royal Rumble Entrants

3) Booker T

Booker T is still in phenomenal shape

Despite now being 53 years of age, Booker T is in absolutely ridiculously shape. To look at the WWE Hall of Famer, you could easily see him stepping back in the ring tomorrow. And that’s exactly what he’s set to do very shortly.

Surprisingly, the 5-time WCW Champion is coming out of retirement to fight ROW Heavyweight Champion Rex Andrews at Reality of Wrestling’s The Last Stand show on January 12th. Of course, Reality of Wrestling is a Texas-based wrestling organisation owned and ran by Booker and his wife Sharmell.

So with Book’s one-time return now confirmed, what’s to say that he doesn’t fancy one more in-ring appearance for the WWE? And what better time to do that than when the Royal Rumble takes place on January 27th?

To be fair to Booker T, he has previously said that if he ever had one more match it would be for Reality of Wrestling and that would be it. Then again, a short cameo stint in the Rumble doesn’t really constitute a full-blown match, does it? Plus Booker would certainly be in peak physical condition due to training for his ROW bout.
