Anticipation is at an all time high for the Royal Rumble as fans are waiting to see who might show up. Fans aren’t the only ones who have a wish list for surprise entrants as Jackie Redmond recently interviewed various WWE stars backstage and asked them who they would like to see in the Royal Rumble matches on Saturday night.
When CM Punk was asked who he’d like to see in the women’s Royal Rumble, Punk seemingly teased a surprise entrant when he said, “Oooh! Hmm, there’s a big one that I’m not going to say, because I’m going to get in trouble.”
While CM Punk obviously didn’t mention any names fans are speculating, and hoping that we could see the return of AJ Lee during the women’s Royal Rumble match this weekend.

AJ Lee hasn’t wrestled since she teamed up with Paige & Naomi to defeat Natalya & The Bella Twins on the Raw after WrestleMania 31 in 2015. Last year CM Punk addressed the possibility of an AJ Lee return and he predicted that her return would be bigger than his.
“She 100% supersedes me. That’s the fun thing about wrestling fans. They look for stuff that necessarily isn’t there. That’s kind of the fun of it. Everyone is talking about, ‘Who is going to main event WrestleMania?’ ‘Who is going to enter the Royal Rumble?’ ‘Who is going to comeback?’ They are always looking around this time of year for big returns. I had mine last year, I think hers would be bigger than mine.”
