During a recent appearance on the “Rewind Recap Relive” podcast, former WWE Superstar Chris Masters (Chris Adonis) discussed a potential appearance in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, which is scheduled for next month.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On a potential special appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble: “I didn’t think about it for a long time, and then about three or four years ago, I started seeing a lot of my friends come back, and I started to really kind of yearn for it and kind of try to put feelers out there, but it hasn’t come to be. I don’t know, in my mind, I think about yeah, I might get a pop, it might be kind of a cool return, but I think in the powers that be’s mind, like Hunter, for instance, in his mind, he would think that they’ve got forgotten about ‘The Masterpiece’. It’s been too long, they’ve forgotten about ‘The Masterpiece’, nobody will care. Which I don’t know, depending on the crowd, maybe that could be the case. Maybe not a lot of people would care. But then again, maybe it would be a shock pop, like, ‘Oh my God,’ you play the old song. I don’t know. Maybe it’d have to be in my hometown, Los Angeles [laughs].”

On the vignettes that aired before his debut: “That’s the thing that makes me think I could get a pop. I think you do have a good amount of guys in the their twenties, late-twenties, early thirties, who were watching since they were kids and their peak fandom was around…I only say this too because I’ve wrestled a lot of guys on the indie scene who are in their early twenties, and they’re very nervous about wrestling me, and then when we talk, you realize their first time seeing me, they were like six years old or whatever, they were really young. So anyways, just to say hopefully there would be enough fans of that same nature that would be like, ‘Oh my God, are you kidding me?’”

During a recent appearance on the “Deloco” podcast, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry teased a potential surprise appearance at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025.

On if he will make a Royal Rumble appearance: “Anywhere, anytime, any show is what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT, that’s the first thing I said when I came back through the curtain and look at all the exciting things that it led to. That obviously would be a huge honor and a privilege and something that’s synonymous with our business. What I will say is this… So when you are a wrestler coming up through, you’re thinking about yourself in the path you’re gonna take but when you are the champion, your job is to do what’s best for the company.”

On being a soldier for TNA Wrestling: “You now have a responsibility. So I am a soldier for TNA Wrestling. So this partnership is amazing because there’s so many mutual benefits for both companies. So it really is as simple as this… If TNA pick up the phone and they say, ‘Joe, it’s time to go.’ It doesn’t matter what event it is, where in the world it is. If TNA management tell me that’s what the objective is, I will move forward. So what I will do is do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do. All I’ll say is I’m ready for all the amazing and exciting potential opportunities that are on the table. It really feels like anything could happen in the world of professional wrestling.”
