There is set to be a surprise appearance from Jackass star Johnny Knoxville this year to add more mayhem on January 29.

“I have a big announcement that I have been dying to get off of my chest. I spent a lot of times over the holiday thinking about how I wanted to start off my 2022, and I decided I want to do it kicking ass and taking names.

“And the best way to do that I feel is making a run for the Rumble, that’s right WWE’s Royal Rumble.

“Training starts today, not that I will need a lot of it because I have seen the WWE’s current roster and it’s laughable to think anyone can throw me over the top rope. LAUGHABLE!

“I will be channelling my wrestling heroes like The Rock, Abdullah the Butcher and the great Gorilla Monsoon.

“The way I’m looking at it I am giving myself a %100 chance of winning. What chance do you think I have?

“Sincerely, Johnny Knoxville, World Champ.”

Johnny Knoxville is a huge 200/1 to win the event.
