Could Hulk Hogan be in Saturday's Royal Rumble?!

Hopefully not, but the six-time WWE Champion toasted 40 years since the birth of Hulkamania by trying to worm his way into the 2024 'January Classic'.

Speaking during a video package, Hogan said;

"Don't forget the wild card factor. You never know who's gonna show up. You never know! I might have one left in me".

He probably doesn't, but it's in keeping with Hogan's usual hotdogging and grandstanding. Hogan's never been shy of inserting himself into the conversation if the mood strikes, even if others haven't necessarily been cooperative or clued in. The inclusion in an edited video package on the Rumble go-home Raw obviously didn't happen without permission, so one can presume it was just 'The Hulkster' making the most of his moments.

Hogan last laced the boots in 2012, working a TNA house show tour of the UK with his final match (as of writing) taking place in Manchester alongside Sting and James Storm against Bobby Roode, Bully Ray and Kurt Angle. The prospect of him lining up against another raft of modern names isn't without intrigue, but is - barring a medical miracle - without realistic merit.
