WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Rumor Killer On Possible Outside Entries

Royal Rumble 2022 was all hyped up with the announcement that the current Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James will make her entry to the match. This is the first time that an under-contract superstar from a rival brand who is also an existing champion will make her presence felt on WWE programming. It certainly indicates that WWE has moved away from the strict protocols about appearances that once used to possess.

That being said, WWE has opened up the forbidden door for the Royal Rumble 2022 event hinting at more such surprise names on the match card. However, it’s being suggested that fans shouldn’t be expecting any AEW talent on the card. Speculations have been rife about the same on potential non-contracted talent appearances after Impact that Knockouts Champion Mickie James was confirmed.

In an update from Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, it was noted that no AEW involvement is expected at WWE Royal Rumble 2022 and therefore there won’t be any surprise appearances from people on the AEW roster. Meltzer also specifically ruled out former WWE Champion Jon Moxley – Dean Ambrose, who has been rumored since his return with GCW has been announced.
