Oh, brother.
Hulk Hogan participated in four of the first five Royal Rumble matches in WWE history. He was the first wrestler in history to win two Royal Rumbles two and win the titular Battle Royal in back-to-back years.
As WWE is celebrating 40 Years of Hulkamania in 2024, "The Hulkster" recently teased during a promo on the January 22 episode of Monday Night Raw that he could potentially be an entrant in this year's Royal Rumble.
Hogan appeared during an AdFreeShows event hosted by Conrad Thompson and Eric Bischoff on January 26 at Hogan's Hangout in Clearwater, Florida, and teased that he had been told he might secure the number 30 entrant in this year's Battle Royal. Hogan then joked that he would have to sign the contract with Eric Bischoff first.
Welp, @HulkHogan did a run-in on @EBischoff & @HeyHeyItsConrad at @adfreeshows Top Guy #RoyalRumble and has some thoughts on maybe being in the match. -- pic.twitter.com/MHWnI0umh6

While that is highly unlikely, if Hulk Hogan were to win the Royal Rumble in 2024, he would tie Stone Cold Steve Austin's record for three Royal Rumble victories. He would break Brock Lesnar's record for the longest time in between Royal Rumble victories.
Lesnar currently holds the record at 19 years in between his two victories. A Hogan victory in 2024 would be 33 years in between victories as his last Royal Rumble victory came in 1991.
However, Bobby Lashley has already declared that he would have no problem eliminating Hulk Hogan from the Royal Rumble should he enter the match. Read more here.
