This WWE superstar can repeat the same as he did in the last edition of the Royal Rumble match. Brock Lesnar made his last appearance in the WWE Summerslam 2022. However, Roman Reigns defeated him and after that, he has not made a comeback until now. As of now, he has won two Royal Rumbles in his career in 2003 and 2022 respectively.

In the last edition of the Royal Rumble, Bobby Lashley defeated him for the WWE Championship. But, he surprised everyone by making an entry into the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Thus, Lesnar became the first former world champion to win that match on the same night he lost the title.

This WWE superstar has impressed everyone since his introduction. However, fans were surprised not to see him in the last edition of the Royal Rumble. Regarding that, Finn Balor said: “I haven’t spoken about this, but I didn’t want to take any time off. I didn’t want to miss any shows. I didn’t need any time off.” 

“Legally, my visa needed to be renewed. I needed to go home to Ireland and go to the US Embassy and get my visa. And that’s why I wasn’t at the Royal Rumble, and that’s why I wasn’t there for a month,” he added. As of now, Balor has never won this tournament in his career so far. His last appearance in a 30-man Royal Rumble match was in 2018.
