The WWE Royal Rumble is just a few weeks away, and fans are speculating about potential surprise returns. Ricky Steamboat recently opened up about the possibility of a comeback to the company. He revealed that he would turn down the opportunity to compete at Rumble.<\/p>\n

The Hall of Famer has never wrestled in a Rumble match, but he had a singles match at the inaugural Royal Rumble in 1988 against Ravishing Rick Rude. It seemed like he was least interested in being a part of the high-profile event.<\/p>\n

Ricky Steamboat is no longer an active wrestler. He returned to the ring on November 27, 2022, at Big Time Wrestling Return of the Dragon and teamed up with FTR for a six-man tag team match. The 69-year-old legend isn’t thinking about entering the squared circle again.<\/p>\n

While speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter, Ricky Steamboat explained that while fans would undoubtedly love to see him at Rumble, he felt the platform was just too massive for him at this stage in his career.<\/p>\n

“Thanks, but no thanks. Yeah (the fans would love it). I think it’s too big of a stage for me,” admitted Ricky Steamboat. [00:50 – 1:05]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
