The 2024 WWE Royal Rumble is set to be staged at the Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida, and the wrestling fans are buzzing with the hope for a thunderous return of a beloved former WWE Champion.
The star in question is Big E, who has won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship (x6), RAW Tag Team Championship (x2), Intercontinental Championship (x2), NXT Championship (x1), and WWE Championship (x1).
The 37-year-old star was last seen on the blue brand back in March 2022 when he teamed up with Kofi Kingston against Ridge Holland and Sheamus.
However, following massive botch including Holland and The Power House of Positivity, the latter star was sent packing. He suffered a horrible neck injury and has been out of in-ring action since then.
