Former WWE Star Teases Return At The Royal Rumble

The year is almost over and the annual Royal Rumble premium live event is quickly approaching. The Royal Rumble is always one of the most exciting shows of the year as you never know who might make a surprise return during one of the Royal Rumble matches.

It’s been a while since fans have seen Heath Slater on WWE programming, but he’s now a free agent following the expiration of his Impact Wrestling contract. When asked what fans can expect from him now that he’s a free agent during an appearance on Rewind Recap Relive, Heath teased that he could make an appearance the Royal Rumble in the number 22 spot.

“(Number) 22 in the (Royal) Rumble and I’m literally just having fun at the moment. Being real, it was one of those things where, you know, after WWE, I was with IMPACT for two years, nearly three years because I was injured for a year. So, it was one of those things where I was with them but now, when you were with IMPACT, they take up a lot of dates that you could have took independent bookings to. But then again, they would give you bookings also to where you could have other bookings too. So it’s like now, I’m booked up till like March, the first weekend in March. So, it’s looking alright, you know, at the moment. But no, I’m literally at the moment to where I’m having fun, I’m enjoying family time, I’m working the weekends so, I’m in the smooth sailing phase at the moment. But then again, I put nearly 16 years going strong, steady every damn day of my damn life to now just relaxing and chilling for a bit… I’m relaxing and chilling for a bit for sure.”

Heath went on to clarify that he would definitely say yes if WWE were to call him up and offer him a spot in the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match next month.
