TNA Star Teases WWE Royal Rumble Appearance Amid NXT Partnership

TNA standout Steve Maclin has sparked speculation about a possible WWE Royal Rumble appearance. On a recent episode of the That’s Wrestling podcast, Maclin addressed the idea of participating in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble, which is set to take place on February 1 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Maclin’s Take on a Potential WWE Return

Maclin, who wrestled in WWE under the name Steve Cutler before his release in February 2021, expressed openness to the idea of appearing at the Royal Rumble. Reflecting on TNA’s collaboration with WWE, Maclin said:

“If it happens, it happens. I’m very happy with where I am in my spot right now in TNA… But if something was to happen, who knows? Maybe Rumble time.”

Maclin acknowledged the potential benefits of the cross-promotional spotlight, both for himself and TNA Wrestling, as their ongoing partnership continues to captivate fans.

TNA and WWE’s Growing Partnership

The past year has seen increased collaboration between WWE and TNA. The partnership has allowed stars from both promotions to compete in cross-branded matches, such as Jordynne Grace’s appearance on NXT and WWE’s Wendy Choo wrestling on Impact!. If Maclin were to participate in the Royal Rumble, it would further blur the lines between the two companies, potentially paving the way for more such collaborations.

Current Feud with Josh Alexander

While the possibility of a WWE appearance remains uncertain, Maclin is deeply involved in a high-profile feud with Josh Alexander in TNA. The rivalry has captivated audiences, showcasing Maclin’s talents as a top-tier competitor in the company.

WWE Fans React to Maclin Rumors

Maclin’s comments have generated buzz among WWE and TNA fans, with many speculating on how his inclusion could impact the Royal Rumble. Whether as part of a one-off appearance or a long-term storyline, Maclin’s presence in WWE would undoubtedly draw attention.

Stay tuned for updates as the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble approaches, with surprises potentially in store for fans of both promotions.
