X-Pac Says There Is “No Chance” He’ll Be In Royal Rumble

Sean Waltman AKA X-Pac

Don’t expect X-Pac to make a surprise appearance in this Saturday’s Royal Rumble.

X-Pac is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer and close friend of two of the most influential people in WWE right now: Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

But while both of them retired from in-ring competition and shifted towards building the next generation of wrestling talent, X-Pac focused on his own personal goals and continued wrestling.

And while he did announce his retirement back in 2019, he went against that and continues wrestling to this day, albeit sporadically.

Because of that, some fans speculate that he might be one of the surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble. However, based on a recent Twitter post of his, that return isn’t likely to happen.

“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.”

As of this writing, sixteen of the thirty entrants in the Men’s Royal Rumble have been announced. They are: Kofi Kingston, Santos Escobar, Ricochet, Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, Rey Mysterio, GUNTHER, Cody Rhodes, Omos, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, Karrion Kross, and Dominik Mysterio.
