WWE's annual Royal Rumble event opens the door for surprise returns from wrestling legends and injured superstars on the road to Wrestlemania, and the 2020 Rumble was no different. For example, Hall of Famer Edge made his in-ring return for the first time in nine years, as did Naomi, who had been out for months due to injury.

One WWE superstar that was rumored to return but was nowhere to be found during the 30-woman Royal Rumble, was none other than Ronda Rousey. After the 30th and final Royal Rumble entrant was announced as NXT star Shayna Baszler, Rousey took to twitter to troll all the WWE fans who thought they were going to hear Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" on Sunday night.

One of the biggest pay-per-view events on the WWE calendar, the Royal Rumble, is scheduled to take place this Sunday, January 26th, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

As always, the PPV’s namesake match will feature surprise returns and call-ups from NXT, with the potential for some WWE legends getting in the mix as well. In fact, the Bovada sportsbook’s odds for the men’s Royal Rumble Match suggests that a couple of retired superstars are among the favorites to outlast the competition.

According to Bovada, Edge has the sixth best odds of punching a ticket to WrestleMania, just slightly behind CM Punk. There have been rumors of both superstars returning to the ring in recent weeks, and what better stage to do so than at the Royal Rumble? Edge and Punk have both denied any reports of their return to WWE, both the rumors have persisted nonetheless.

As for the rest of the field, Roman Reigns is slotted as the favorite to be the last man standing, ahead of heavyweights like Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre and former UFC champion Cain Velasquez. Other notable names include John Cena (25/1), Tyson Fury (25/1), The Rock (45/1), The Undertaker (70/1) and Conor McGregor (70/1).

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE television on Monday night as he and his advocate, Paul Heyman, kicked off the first episode of Monday Night Raw in 2020 with a major announcement.

Heyman went through his usual spiel on the mic before explaining that no WWE superstar is worthy of challenging his client for the WWE Championship. As a result, Lesnar has elected to enter the 30-man Royal Rumble later this month, giving each and every superstar a chance to prove themselves. Furthermore, Heyman explained that Lesnar will be entering the Rumble in the No. 1 slot.
