Johnny Knoxville is used to getting hurt, but his latest promotional stunt for Jackass Forever will see him enter the WWE Royal Rumble on January 29, 2022.
“They don’t have anyone big enough to throw me over the top rope. What, is Little E or Roman Ruins going to do it? Ha!” laughed Knoxville in a promotional video referencing Big E and Roman Reigns. “And Vince McMahon, you’ve always been really kind to us, and I appreciate it, but I sincerely hope you are auditioning bigger, tougher talent for the 2022 Royal Rumble because I don’t wanna hurt anyone. So, just like the shirt says, ‘Johnny Knoxville, World Champion.’”
Of course, Knoxville isn’t the first celebrity to appear in a WWE ring or even the Royal Rumble. Actors such as Stephen Amell and Mr. T have had notable matches, while athletes and reality television stars such as Snooki, Shaquille O’Neal, Floyd Mayweather, and others have found themselves in the squared circle. As for the Royal Rumble, Drew Carey had a famous appearance in 2001.
