WWE Royal Rumble 2024: 10 Surprise Entrants We Could See

Bayley has been very candid about how much she's been begging her pal Sasha Banks to make a WWE return. That adds up both on camera and behind the scenes. The pair are great friends, and it would be logical for Sasha to back Bayley up when the ex-'Hugger' is inevitably punted from Damage CTRL.

Over to you, Mercedes Mone.

There are a few things to sort out before this becomes possible, to be fair. Mercedes is currently recovering from injury, and she's under contract to New Japan. Then, there are the AEW rumours. Mone was spotted at All In over the summer, and many expect Tony Khan will make an offer she can't refuse soon.

That's before one gets to all of the personal thrashing out she'd have to do with WWE. Mercedes left Sasha Banks behind for a reason, but never say never on her coming back. Pretty much everyone comes back eventually.
