“Happy New Year’s Day and love to everyone. I have a big announcement that I have been dying to get off of my chest.
I spent a lot of time 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 channeling my wrestling heroes like @therock, 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 #roadtowrestlemania #royalrumble #wwe #jackassforever (sic)”

WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Knoxville made fun of the current champions
In his video, Johnny Knoxville took a jibe at current champions Big E (before losing his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1), and Roman Reigns calling them “Little E” and “Roman Ruins,” respectively.
He also targeted the current roster and termed them laughable as he thinks that no one on the current roster has the strength to throw him over the top rope in the Royal Rumble match. It would be interesting to see how the star power of Johnny Knoxville will oomph the 30-men Royal Rumble match on January 29 at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis.
