Rumor Roundup: The Upcoming Plans For Edge, Another NXT Call-Up, More

3) More On Christian’s Return

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Christian’s return was kept as a major surprise, even to those backstage in WWE.

Only a small amount of people were said to have known in advance about him entering the Royal Rumble match. Here is what Johnson wrote:

The story making the rounds backstage after the PPV was that he was officially secretly cleared a week before the Rumble after a visit to Pittsburgh. Until shortly before he began to warm up for the appearance, Christian kept the secret of his return quiet from everyone backstage beyond a very small amount who were aware ahead of time.

My Take:

  • I am definitely down for more Christian matches. I would love to see him against guys like Keith Lee, Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, and more. It is just great to have him back.

2) Who Was In Charge At The Royal Rumble

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Vince McMahon was not backstage at the Royal Rumble PPV.

Triple H apparently raw the show in his place:

Vince McMahon was not at the show last night. Paul Levesque ran the show. 

My Take:

  • Triple H definitely deserves some praise as it was a really good PPV.
