But what does this return even mean? Let’s do a bit of background analysis.

The bedrock reality behind Hulk Mania’s teased Royal Rumble return

While the odds seem pretty low, Hogan’s return tease was still enough to move the WWE fanatics by and large.

The idea of Hogan returning for the Royal Rumble is undoubtedly a big-league idea. But given the current health condition of the prized veteran, it doesn’t seem viable to tipp him into a very physical bout. So, It’s one of those matches that wouldn’t likely offer the crowd some colossal manoeuver exhibition of moves and maneuvers. He can go for a brief cameo or can also stun the fans by getting over-the-top rope.

While the actual possibility of Hogan showing up largely depends on what height WWE goes up to with such a risk-taking move, the company has a habit of enjoying these teasing games. And there’s a fair chance that it remains as a fun tease only as the reality is way more complex than it seems to be from the surface.

While the WWE Hall of Famer still rules the hearts of the majority of the classic WWE fans, there might be a counter force who might not want The Hulkstar to come back for nothing and cost the young deserving superstars their spots.

WWE needs to sort out a host of issues before moving forward with the idea.
