It appears that WWE’s greatest European Champion will not be participating in this year’s Royal Rumble match.
The first-ever Eurocontinental Champion D’Lo Brown has added his name to the list of former stars who won’t be competing in this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match. Brown joins Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman, who also announced on Thursday that fans shouldn’t expect to see him participate either.
D’Lo had been working with Impact Wrestling as a commentator and backstage producer until September 2022. He had also rejoined former Aces and Eights stablemates Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff as their manager. His last match was a ten-man tag for Great Lakes Championship Wrestling in March 2022.
But it looks like his in-ring days are finished. Speaking with Sportskeeda’s UnSKripted podcast, D-Lo said the following,
“I can tell you it takes too much to get out of bed right now. It hurts everyday. Now look I knew exactly what I was training in when I got into this business but my time in the sun has set and I’m very happy with my career and the day I had in my career.”
