5 Legends Who Could Return at The Royal Rumble

The road to WrestleMania begins at the Royal Rumble, so what better place for a legend to return and set up a marquee match at the "Showcase of the Immortals" than the Royal Rumble match itself.  Legends return at the Royal Rumble every year, so the question is, who's it going to be this year?

As of writing this article there are only 5 confirmed entrants to the Women's Rumble, thus we feel it will be peppered with female legends, therefor for the purposes of this article, we are only going to look at potential returns in the Men's Royal Rumble match.  

#5 Sting

BCW thoughts/notes:  This time of year rumours start about one last Sting match, usually pitching him to square off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania.  This is something we'd love to see, however it all depends on Sting's physical condition and whether WWE would be willing to clear him for an in-ring return.

#4 The Undertaker

BCW thoughts/notes: The Deadman is still an active competitor a few times a year for WWE, thus it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he made an appearance at the Royal Rumble especially as it's taking place in his home town, Houston, Texas.

#3 Shawn Michaels

BCW thoughts/notes: One of the least likely on this list, but he did compete in Saudi last year and is also currently working for WWE with NXT.  We know it's a long shot, but there's an outside chance.

#2 CM Punk

BCW thoughts/notes: CM Punk recently made his long-awaited return to WWE TV, albeit as an employee of Fox, but although Punk has insisted he will not be returning to a WWE ring at the Royal Rumble, he's still our shout for the #30 position!

#1 Edge

BCW thoughts/notes: The Rated R Superstar has been trying to get WWE to clear him lately for an in ring return after years on the sideline, with what so far has been a career ending neck injury.  However if the wrestling rumour mill is to be believed, Edge has already received this clearance from WWE doctors and he will be making his return in the Royal Rumble match!
