One such name that fans wanted to see compete inside the squared circle this Saturday was Sean Waltman. However, it looks like he might not be a participant in the 30-man match in 2023.
Sean Waltman won’t be competing in the Royal Rumble Match this year
A day before the first premium live event of 2023, Waltman denied all claims of him entering this year’s Men’s Rumble. The two-time Hall of Famer went on to his Twitter handle to put an end to the surfacing rumors of him appearing on Saturday.

For the last 8 months, I've been enjoying life & eating whatever the f— I want. In other words, there's no chance of me being in the Rumble. But I really appreciate those of you who have expressed their desire to see me appear. 🙏

“For the last 8 months, I’ve been enjoying life & eating whatever the f*ck I want. In other words, there’s no chance of me being in the Rumble. But I really appreciate those of you who have expressed their desire to see me appear.” said the 2-time WWF European Champion.
Upon this update, fans shared positive reactions. Here are some top comments.
Dude I’ve been a fan since I saw you in Global I happy you’re enjoying life. I too have been eating whatever I want maybe too much so also won’t be in the Rumble. (The me not having the talent or cardio has nothing to do with it)

It is a real same Sean, it would have been good to see you have another little IC run again! But yo man, enjoy life and make the most of it mate! Just never say never! A WrestleMania moment could be waiting for you one day with the right opponent. 💪💯

You've more than earned the right to do and eat whatever you want. Scary it's been such a long career, I still remember coming home from high school and seeing you on ESPN during Global. (What's it like staying 35 every year, cause you just stay in your prime)

Would’ve been awesome to hear that “X Paaaaaaaac!!!” one more time!
But, brother, keep enjoying your life and kicking ass. 👊🏽

Keep living your best life!

Too bad would love to see the 1-2-3 Kid come out as tribute to Razor Ramon.

You're a good dude Sean, and you deserve to enjoy retirement. You entertained us for years and I hope this new phase of your life treats you well.

Cody Rhodes returns to the Royal Rumble
Well, it seems like the chances of Waltman competing in the Men’s Rumble are zero, but one thing we know for sure is that Cody Rhodes is going to make his comeback on Saturday’s Royal Rumble.

WWE announced Rhodes’s entry in the Rumble earlier this month. However, The American Nightmare had already dropped the Royal Rumble bomb on the WWE Universe with his one-letter message on his Twitter handle. Fans reacted to this news very differently as they wanted WWE to keep Rhodes’ Rumble entry as a surprise.

The WWE Universe last saw The 2-Time WWE Intercontinental Champion inside the squared circle. There, he competed against Seth Rollins in Hell in a Cell match. Rhodes had torn his pectoral muscle on an episode of Raw and then entirely torn it off the bone during his preparation for his match against The Visionary.
Despite the odds being not in his favor, Rhodes managed to pick up the victory over Rollins. This was his third victory over Rollins, the first and send one being at WrestleMania 38 and WrestleMania backlash, respectively.
