3) Scrapped Plans For The Elimination Chamber PPV (Part 1)
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, The Undertaker was originally planned to make an appearance at the Elimination Chamber PPV. These plans ended up getting scrapped.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
While he did not make the trip, at one point, there were plans for newly minted WWE Hall of Famer Undertaker to make a non-wrestling appearance to celebrate his impending induction on the WWE Elimination Chamber PPV but the plans were dropped. We are told the idea was pretty much a cameo appearance as opposed to any sort of angle.
My Take:
- I don’t think we needed to see him. Save it for closer to Wrestlemania 38.
2) Scrapped Plans For The Elimination Chamber PPV (Part 2)
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Kurt Angle was originally planned to appear at the Elimination Chamber PPV. Those plans ended up getting scrapped.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
There were also plans at one point for WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle to appear on this show before the planned creative for his return was dropped. There is no word what the role would have been but it’s not believed to have been Angle wrestling. Angle’s return would have been for 3-4 weeks culminating with this show. We are told the ideas for Angle were dropped weeks ago.
My Take:
- My guess is that this would have had something to do with Matt Riddle. The rumor is that Angle was going to be involved in some sort of storyline with Riddle but it got cut.
