The Royal Rumble is known for its special surprise entrants.
Count UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier among those who would like to be one of the 30 men in the Rumble competing for a chance to headline WrestleMania 34.
“I wish I could be in the Royal Rumble this year,” said Cormier, who fights on pay per view one week before the Rumble in Boston at UFC 220 against Volkan Oezdemir. “I don’t think they will invite me, but fighting against Oezdemir in Boston works for me, timewise. My fight is in January, which opens up WrestleMania for me this New Orleans–not to compete, but to go.”
Cormier made news this past weekend by expressing his feelings of distaste toward a spot from the Young Bucks’ 6-man tag title match from this past Friday’s Final Battle pay per view, but it should not be a shock that Cormier, who is one of the toughest fighters on the planet, prefers a more realistic feel to pro wrestling.
