Rumor Roundup: Cancelled Match For WWE’s PPV In Saudi Arabia, Backstage Note On Adam Pearce, More

1) Cancelled Match For WWE’s PPV In Saudi Arabia

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), WWE scrapped their plans to have Hornswoggle wrestle at a recent PPV event in Saudi Arabia.

Sapp says that Hornswoggle was potentially going to face Robbie “The Giant’ Araujo (who WWE fans might recognize as “JB-Elf”). Here is what he wrote:

There were plans for WWE to run a match with Hornswoggle on one of the shows. Robbie “The Giant’ Araujo was actually flown over to Saudi Arabia and not used, according to talent.

Araujo appeared on Micro Championship Wrestling and appeared on WWE TV in the past as “JB-Elf.”

My Take:

  • I would be down for a Hornswoggle match at one of these PPV events. Could be fun.
