Rumor Roundup: Moment Scrapped From The Royal Rumble, Changed Plans For Cesaro, More

1) Comedic Moment Scrapped From The Royal Rumble

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE was originally planning for Angel Garza to be involved in a comedic spot during the men’s Royal Rumble match.

They ended up changing their mind and put Otis into the match instead of Garza. Here is what Meltzer wrote about the scrapped moment:

Another late change was Otis replacing Angel Garza. Otis had been advertised. Garza was there and was supposed to come in, do a comedy spot tearing off his pants, and then get eliminated right away.

At the last minute, Otis was put back in, in the spot Garza was in.

My Take:

  • This would have been funny but I don’t think it is that big of a loss. Otis was fine from what I remember.
