WWE Part-Timer Turns Down Royal Rumble Surprise Appearance
WWE reportedly contacted Chris Jericho and asked him to be a surprise participant in the Royal Rumble match, however Jericho turned down the offer.
Although Jericho has been working live events for WWE as of late, he reportedly wanted any return to TV to mean something more than a one-off or surprise appearance, so he declined to be involved in the Rumble match.
Vince “Furious” Over Botch in the Rumble Match
As we previously reported, there was a timing error in the Royal Rumble match on Sunday night, as Titus O’Neil was actually supposed to be eliminated much quicker than he was, if you can believe that.
Titus was actually eliminated from the bout in 4 seconds, however he was supposed to be eliminated in 1 second, tying Santino Marella’s record for the quickest Rumble match elimination.
The spot was not timed properly, and as a result Titus got hung up on the ropes and was not able to exit the ring quick enough. When the mistake happened, Vince McMahon was reportedly “furious”, as he wanted to spot to be timed perfectly.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
