WWE are looking at bringing back Edge, Beth Phoenix, Doudrop and Logan Paul at the 2023 Royal Rumble.

This is according to PWInsider, who said;

"PWInsider.com is told that Edge is penciled in to return at the WWE Royal Rumble PPV. He was last seen at the Extreme Rules PPV in October, losing to Finn Bálor in an I Quit Match. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix is also slated for the Rumble we are told. The word making the rounds at TV this week was that Doudrop would be back around that time as well, returning to the Raw brand. She noted recently online that she's been away for an extended period due to an illness. Logan Paul is absolutely being talked about in regard to an appearance at the Rumble as well, as long as his knee is rehabbed and he's ready to go."

There had been rumours of a Hell In A Cell match between Edge and Finn Bálor dating back to December following The Judgment Day's aforementioned beatdown 'The Rated-R Superstar' and 'The Glamazon'.
