Mike Johnson of PWInsider is reporting that Rhyno‘s “firing” last night on RAW seems to be just storyline-based than anything else. Last night, Wrestling Inc. reported Rhyno announced his retirement to the live crowd after being ‘fired’ on TV. However, PWInsider was told as of this morning that “The Man Beast” is slated to still take part in the company’s South American tour that begins tomorrow. Although not officialy reported anywhere, this South American tour might just be a squared circle swan song for the ECW Original after what has been a memorable run for the wrestling veteran in not just WWE, but NXT as well. If you’ve forgotten, Rhyno made his NXT debut three years ago defeating none other than Elias.
The Man Beast returns to WWE, looking to revitalize his career in NXT.
Insider is also reporting that Braun Strowman is in Austin, TX along with the SmackDown brand. He wasn’t in attendance for RAW last night and Johnson speculates that his presence today with the blue brand may just be an indication of Braun getting checked up by WWE doctors.
