New Concept Never been done before

[Evil Homer]

The WWE title is stripped of someone, due to a storyline. Instead of awarding someone the title ,starting a tournament, a beat the clock challenge, or a battle royal. have a WWE title Royal Rumble, only people that may participate are either former WWE or World Champions. Currently between the main roster, retired announcer, GM of Smackdown, Part Timer, and occasional hall of famers- there is a pretty awesome list:
current full timers, part timers, announcers & GM
Cena
Orton
Vince Mcmahon
Daniel Bryan
Kane
Alberto Del Rio
Big Show
Booker T
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
The Rock
Dolph Ziggler
Great Khali
Jack Swagger
Kane
Mark Henry
The Miz
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
Triple H
Sheamus
The Undertaker
Brock Lesnar
JBL
Mick Foley
Bret Hart

and add to that some special appearances

Stone Cold
Dave Batista
Sycho Sid

and if you really wanna reach out
Ultimate Warrior

I think this something that would be big money on PPV

The 1992 Royal Rumble Match was unique in that the WWE Championship was on the line, making 30 men potential champions. Ultimately, it was the winningest World Champion of them all who emerged from spot No. 3 to claim victory: Ric Flair.

I thought about that, even though this concept is similar- but I believe it would be a bigger deal, only because it will have all former champions. and plus that was done over 20 years, this could be the modern version of that concept

I'd like it better if it was NO former champions.

Yes! This would be amazing.

You could still even have the nostalgia pops for guys like Piper, Hacksaw, and Lawler.

What Kneelift said.

Although the last time they did that, we ended up with Sheamus, so maybe f*** what Kneelift said.

I'm on board with this as well. But I don't hate the OP's idea - it would easily be WWE's most star-studded Rumble ever. But You've got issues with over a third of the participants.

Stone Cold
Batista
Sycho Sid
Ultimate Warrior
The Undertaker
Brock Lesnar
Triple H
The Rock
Brock Lesnar

If you could book ALL these guys for a pay-per-view, why waste them on a Royal Rumble spot?

And then these guys...

Vince Mcmahon - Pushing 70
Dolph Ziggler - Shh, we're not supposed to remember that
Great Khali - Immobile midcard comedy act
Jack Swagger - MIA
JBL - Really bad back
Mick Foley - Can't even tie his own shoes without pain

I think, in principle it's a good idea but I just don't see it happening.

Just like the Mania 17 gimmick battle royal, Iron Shiek has to win because his knees couldn't take the throwing over the top rope.
