3) NXT Star Injured
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the speculation is that Kacy Catanzaro will be out for months with a legitimate injury.
Here is what Meltzer said (via Ringside News):
“Kacy Catanzaro must be injured legit because they said she had a broken leg, right? But, when they say she’s got a broken leg that means she’ll be out for a couple of months because that’s an excuse for a real injury. She also had a big brace on that knee to begin with, so she’s obviously really hurt.”
My Take:
- I have always been a fan of Kacy so I am bummed to hear this. Hopefully she can get back quickly.
2) WWE Was More Laid Back With Royal Rumble Surprises
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE was more laid back this year in terms of protecting Royal Rumble surprises.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
In past years, several Royal Rumble surprises were hidden on busses and kept out of the way depending on the situation. However, we’ve heard varying things about Royal Rumble surprises that were a part of this year’s show. Several surprises were present at the women’s rehearsals on Saturday afternoon, and widely known that they’d be participating. Others were present at the talent hotel hanging out with talent the night before the show. At least one more was just simply backstage on Sunday, and nobody really thought anything of it, because WWE has legends around with regularity. We were told this Royal Rumble was much more laid back than in recent years.
My Take:
- Seems like WWE wasn’t worried about any big spoilers getting out this year. They did a solid job at keeping things under wrap.
