WWE has seen some exciting returns over the past year. NXT fans were very surprised to see Shawn Spears return to the brand, but they almost saw him on a much larger stage prior to that.
It turns out that Shawn Spears made a pitch to WWE for him to be a part of the 2024 Royal Rumble match. Of course, that proposed plan did not pan out.
Shawn Spears\' Pitch
Leading up to the 2024 Royal Rumble, some fans expressed a hope for Shawn Spears/Tye Dillinger\'s return to WWE as the number 10 entrant, playing on his \"Perfect 10\" persona.
In his first post-AEW interview with Fightful, Shawn Spears confirmed that he had indeed pitched ideas for the Royal Rumble. He mentioned that he had \"shot his shot,\" for that idea to go down. Unfortunately, the plans for the Rumble had already been finalized by then, so Spears didn\'t make the Rumble match.
What\'s Next for Shawn Spears
Shawn Spears is back in NXT, where he has a lot of upside to what he brings to the table. He is a veteran who could benefit the brand in many ways. Only time will tell if he gets another Royal Rumble appearance, but fans will be waiting for him in the 10th entry.
