WWE is planning to bring back several legendary names for special cameo appearances at the upcoming Royal Rumble 2025 premium live event.
According to recent discussions, WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan are among the names being considered for these non-competitive roles.
Duggan made history by winning the inaugural Royal Rumble match in 1988, while Flair’s iconic victory in 1992, where he captured the WWE Championship, remains one of the most memorable Rumble performances. Both legends have long-standing ties to the event’s legacy, making their presence fitting for what promises to be a night filled with surprises.
The Royal Rumble 2025 will also feature John Cena’s final Royal Rumble match, adding further intrigue and emotional weight to the event. Cena’s career, defined by countless monumental moments, will reach another milestone as he bids farewell to the Rumble match that has been a cornerstone of his WWE journey.
