Names like Steve Austin, The Rock and more have been rumoured for WWE's upcoming Royal Rumble 2024 PLE, but...what about Maven? OK, that riff on Raven's old catchphrase is pretty lame, but the ex-Tough Enough winner has been openly discussing chances of a company comeback recently.

Maven told listeners tuning into fellow WWE alumni Rene Dupree's podcast that he "knows people want" to see him make a return at the Rumble. He's even willing to recreate his old spot opposite The Undertaker from 2002 with somebody else on the WWE roster - names like Bron Breakker, Karrion Kross and Solo Sikoa were thrown out there by fans.

Interesting.

Admittedly, nobody from WWE's side has picked up the phone to give Maven a call yet, but he's definitely game if Triple H needs to fill a few minutes in the men's Rumble match. If this does happen, then it'll mark Maven's first time working a match for WWE since taping for the international version of Sunday Night Heat on 20 June 2005.

There, he teamed with The Heart Throbs in a losing effort vs. The Hurricane, Rosey and Val Venis.
