Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Scrapped Plans For The Royal Rumble (Part 1)
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Ricochet was originally planned to appear in the men’s Royal Rumble match this year.
WWE ended up scrapping these plans and Ricochet did not appear in the match at all.
We’ve heard some more about the recent WWE Men’s Royal Rumble match. There were several pitches that didn’t end up happening, and changes to the match. Originally, the match was laid out to have Ricochet come out late in the match, before that was changed.
My Take:
- It is a shame as with Ricochet’s athleticism, they could have done a cool moment with him in the match. He seems like a guy who could rival Kofi Kingston in wild elimination saves.
4) Scrapped Plans For The Royal Rumble (Part 2)
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, it was also pitched that all members of Retribution would show up during the men’s Royal Rumble match.
This didn’t end up happening and the group did not appear in the match (other than their leader, Mustafa Ali).
Another pitch featured the members of Retribution at ringside, with one on three different sides causing mayhem. That obviously didn’t end up happening, but a similar spot with Omos did.
My Take:
- This is another demonstration of how dead Retribution is. Vince McMahon seems to be over them.
