You can add Shane McMahon to the list of names spotted in St. Louis ahead of tonight’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
There’s no word on what the storyline plans are for him but it’s worth noting that Ringside News first reported this week that McMahon would be making his return at the Rumble. Usually, when he’s involved in storylines around this time of the year, it means that there are plans for a WrestleMania match.
It was also reported by RSN that Bad Bunny is scheduled to be at tonight’s pay-per-view. Again, no word on what plans (if any) there are for him for tonight and beyond but WWE has been looking for a big celebrity for WrestleMania so perhaps, another Bad Bunny match is in the cards.
There’s a slew of former WWE stars in St. Louis. Many will be involved with the show and a few are there to shoot content for the WWE Network/Peacock. Some names are also on standby in case replacements are needed at the last minute. In addition to the names listed below, other names seen in St. Louis and/or rumored for the show include Kaitlyn, Ivory, Aksana, Melina, Kairi Sane, and Cameron.
