Every Rumoured WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Surprise

7. Hulk Hogan

Yes, we know.

Hulk Hogan hasn't wrestled inside a professional wrestling ring since a TNA house show in Manchester, England in 2012. It has been even longer since The Hulkster's last WWE match when he defeated Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2006. 

Hogan himself has even said in recent years that he wouldn't be able to wrestle one more time due to undergoing 23 surgeries in the past 12 years. That didn't stop Hogan from teasing one more match, though, as he said he might have one more left in him at the Royal Rumble during a chat on Monday Night Raw to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the birth of Hulkamania. 

Of course, this is the same Hulk Hogan who has been using a walking stick in public in recent years so he might not be able to hit a Big Boot and Leg Drop, never mind get over the top rope. This is Hogan, though, and his powers of persuasion have been known to help his own advancement within the business.
