One of the highlights of the Royal Rumble matches are the surprise entrants. Whether it be a legendary superstar coming out of retirement for one night only, a former superstar making an unexpected comeback or a huge superstar making their debut, the Royal Rumble is one of the few occasions where it genuinely feels like anything can happen in the WWE.

However, there have been occasions in the past when the surprise entrants are either disappointing - or, in the case of last year's Women's Royal Rumble match, completely non-existent. With that in mind, it's understandable that some fans are concerned about whether the company will be reaching out to any former stars to give us some memorable moments.

As we saw with Edge's exhilarating comeback last year, having the right surprise entrants at the right time can create unforgettable feelgood moments that will live on in WWE history forever - and that's exactly the kind of jaw-dropping escapism fans would like this year's Royal Rumble to once again provide them with.
