3) Female Superstar Pulled From The Royal Rumble Match
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Reckoning (aka Mia Yim) was originally supposed to take part in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. This was changed after Mia tested positive for COVID-19.
Meltzer speculated that Shotzi Blackheart or Santana Garrett took her spot in the match:
“It could have been that Shotzi Blackheart or Santana Garrett was a last minute replacement for Mia Yim, because Mia Yim was supposed to be in that match and she tested positive for COVID. Santana Garrett is in the area so I think that, you know one of those two was probably the replacement for Mia Yim.”
My Take:
- This makes sense and I feel bad for Mia. My guess is that Santana took her spot as she seemed like a random addition to the match.
2) Jey Uso Update
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Jey Uso was pulled from the Royal Rumble match after not being medically cleared to compete.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Jey Uso wasn’t medically cleared for the Rumble.
My Take:
- Sucks to hear as Jey deserved a spot based on the great year that he had. I hope that everything is okay.
