WWE are in prime position to hide which NXT Superstars and legends could potentially be in the Royal Rumble.

With the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble set to take place at Tropicana Field in Florida, the promotion could be well-positioned to hide the identity of potential surprise appearances.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite explains: "Around this time, everyone asks about surprises. A WWE source noted that with so many current and former talents, plus WWE NXT stars all living in Florida, it's going to be very easy to conceivably call someone at the last second and have them appear."
WWE could therefore conceivably book various NXT Superstars or company legends to appear at the event at short notice. A particular name mentioned backstage has been Maryse. Johnson adds:
"Add Maryse to the list of names scheduled to be at the 2024 Royal Rumble this weekend. Her name was bouncing around backstage today at Raw. Of course, that doesn't mean she'd be on camera, but that she will be at the event."
Last year's men's Royal Rumble didn't feature any NXT Superstars, but did include a surprise appearance from WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Michelle McCool was a legend added to the women's match, while Roxanne Perez and Zoey Stark represented NXT in the bout.
