6-time World Champion hints at Royal Rumble return after 8-year WWE in-ring absence

Booker T has taken to Twitter to give a strong hint that he will be among the entrants in the 2020 WWE Royal Rumble.

The two-time Hall of Famer, 54, previously stated that he wanted WWE to give him two weeks’ warning if they required him to participate in the Royal Rumble, which takes place in Houston, Texas, where he currently resides.

The WWE on FOX Twitter account asked fans to name their favourite surprise entrant in a Rumble match, prompting Booker to respond by claiming that he will be one of the surprises in 2020.
