The Royal Rumble has long been one of WWE's premier events of the year, not only for directly setting the stage for the company's single biggest event of the year, WrestleMania but also for being WWE's most unpredictable night of the year where anyone can show up unannounced and can even begin a career resurgence[...]

While the only thing WWE tried really hard on in 2021 was trimming their rosters and staff by releasing over 80 wrestlers from their contracts with the company, it seems in 2022 they aren't quite as gung-ho about giving talents the boot, at least not when the talents themselves are the ones who want it[...]
