WWE’s next major premium live event is just a month away. Royal Rumble 2024 will emanate from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday, January 27, 2024. As we are approaching closer to the event, the fans have started talking more and more about the return of wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson.

He is highly anticipated to feature at WrestleMania 40, which means WWE may incorporate him in Royal Rumble to weave a storyline for next year’s Mania. Here are three potential scenarios that may take place that will give way to The Rock’s appearance at Royal Rumble next month.

1. Dwayne Johnson returned to WWE in September 2023

The WWE Universe had been wishing Johnson’s return for years. But he was a no-show. Well, things have changed now.

Earlier this year, he returned to WWE after four long years in an edition of SmackDown in September. This has led the fans to believe that he may return once again at Royal Rumble.

2. Johnson is heavily rumored to clash with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40

On the list of superstars that could dethrone Roman Reigns, Johnson sits at the top, perhaps. It has been very long since fans have been demanding him to put an end to The Tribal Chief’s cruelty and injustice. After his WWE appearance, he even acknowledged that he was open to having a match with his cousin at Mania 40.

This may be a crucial hint to his return to the Stamford-based promotion. Also, let’s not forget that Reigns will already be occupied with either Randy Orton, AJ Styles, or LA Knight at the event. But ‘The Brahma Bull’ may still show up by the end of the night and set up a feud with Reigns for ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All’.

3. Johnson’s recent tribute to his former self on Christmas

If you follow Johnson on social media, then you must know that Johnson recently gave a tribute to his younger self on the special occasion of Christmas. He shared a video of himself dressed as The Rock from the 1990s, where he wore his iconic black turtleneck and fanny pack outfit and sang a Christmas song for his fans. Many believe that by doing so, he hinted at a potential comeback.
