WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Ranking Likelihood Of 10 Potential Surprise Entrants
7. Moose (Probability 4/10)
On 7 January, Charlotte Flair announced current Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James would be returning to WWE and entering the Royal Rumble match. This sent the wrestling world on fire talking about the elusive ‘Forbidden Door’ being opened by WWE and Impact Wrestling.
When that happened, one of the first names brought up by wrestling fans was Moose. He checks every box that Vince McMahon would look for in a future WWE star; big, strong, former football player, and has that It Factor a WWE superstar needs. If Impact Wrestling is looking to send their heaviest hitter to WWE, they have their man in current Impact Heavyweight Champion Moose.
The only thing holding Moose from being the first name through the Forbidden Door and to the ring for the Royal Rumble is that he would not be widely known to the casual WWE fan. That should not be something that will hold WWE back from bringing Moose into the fold, as his skill is something casual and hardcore wrestling fans can appreciate.
