One of the most anticipated spectacles in WWE, the Royal Rumble, often brings with it a myriad of surprises, including the return of legendary figures. Fans have long been thrilled by unexpected participants, and one such icon, Mick Foley, has made post-retirement appearances that have left the WWE Universe buzzing.
Despite the excitement that surrounds potential cameos, the WWE Hall of Famer and beloved Hardcore Legend has put recent speculation to rest. During an engaging conversation on WWE’s The Bump, Foley addressed the buzz around the 2024 Royal Rumble event. While initially teasing the possibility of joining the fray, he quickly retracted, laying to rest any rumors of his involvement in the upcoming pay-per-view.
With candor and a dose of humor, Foley remarked, “On Royal Rumble, people get together and celebrate. It really makes people happy. So, I’ll be tuned in and maybe I’ll be—no, here’s the thing: I would have to lose 70 pounds just to be in terrible shape, so I am not going to be there.”
The playful banter continued as the show’s host quipped about Foley’s status being ‘undeclared’ for the event, a remark with which Foley amiably agreed, further fueling the fan’s wishful thinking—yet all in jest.
Beyond his Royal Rumble musings, Foley has remained a topic of interest within the pro wrestling community. He’s shared insights, including the creative mind behind his infamous Mr. Socko gimmick. Additionally, Foley revealed his role behind the scenes, advising WWE to keep an eye on Drew McIntyre following his previous release from the company.
As the conversation comes to a close, the possibility of Mick Foley making a shock entrance at the Royal Rumble seems to be dashed. Yet, the reminiscence of his legendary career continues to resonate with fans who eagerly await any tidbit associated with the Hardcore Legend.
