Nash coming back as Diesel for a Royal Rumble makes sense. Royal Rumble 1994 was basically his coming out party. He didn't win thanks to his early entry and other wrestlers (including his ally at the time HBK) teaming up to eliminate him but he had a dominant performance. Even though he was heel the fans cheered him as he cleared the ring and eliminated one guy after another, both faces and heels.
