The Royal Rumble is almost here and it seems that WWE has some big surprises in store. As always it’s expected that we’ll see some familiar faces, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing Chris Masters at the event. The Masterpiece recently took to Twitter to say that he has not been contacted for a Royal Rumble return when he posted the following:
“Sorry to say I have not been contacted for The Rumble and will almost certainly not be taking part at this point.”

Chris Masters revealed during an interview that he pitched an idea to return at the Royal Rumble last year when he said, “When you also think of the whole Bobby Lashley aspect — the idea of the Hurt Lock-Master Lock thing — and so when Royal Rumble came around, I kind of started petitioning for it a little bit. There was some talks with some of the people I knew in WWE, so it wasn’t it was just going on deaf ears, but Bobby Lashley ended up not being in the Rumble.”
It was recently reported that WWE is more than pleased with the plans they have for the Royal Rumble and you can get more on that here.
