WWE Royal Rumble 2019: 10 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know
9. Kevin Owens Returns
This would be nice wouldn't it?
After being off our screens for months now, WWE appeared to tease an imminent return for Kevin Owens, only to then have a further series of reports state that he wouldn't be back until WrestleMania at the very earliest. From what we know he's fit, cleared, and fully ready to return, so sitting on him for a further 3 months of his career seems a bit weird.
Where weirdness sprouts though the internet is always quick to try and spray some sense onto it. Any reports coming out trying to put you off the scent of a return, are there to... well... put you off the scent of a return. Owens, in fighting shape, will actually be back at the Royal Rumble, WWE just want it to be a bit of a shock.
There's good logic to it. With the main-event scene packed with Braun, Brock, Finn, Seth and Drew presently, it leaves Bobby Lashley and his Intercontinental Championship without a viable WrestleMania Season programme. Enter not only its former holder, but the man Lashley himself put on the shelf...
