One of the most emotional WWE moments in recent years occurred when Christian returned during the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble match, just like his tag team partner, Edge, had done last year.

It was a full-circle moment when Edge and Christian shared a moment together inside the ring, which will be fondly remembered by WWE fans in the years to come.

While it was great to see a star like Carlito return to the WWE after several years, some of the other legends' spots didn't feel as important in the grander scheme of things.

Kane and The Hurricane entered the Royal Rumble as well, and WWE SmackDown Superstar Seth Rollins made his first wrestling appearance since Survivor Series 2020.

Several part-timers also appeared in the Women's Royal Rumble match, including names such as Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Jillian Hall, and Alicia Fox, among others. As mentioned earlier, Lana also returned to WWE towards the end of the Women's Royal Rumble match.

While WWE always brings back notable names from the past to fill up the Women's Royal Rumble spots every year, Alicia Fox was involved in a pretty noteworthy and entertaining 24/7 title melee during the Rumble.
