#2 Miro revealed a text that Vince McMahon sent him
The Rusev Day phenomenon was more popular than ever around the time of WrestleMania 34. Although Rusev was booked in a forgettable Fatal 4-Way at WrestleMania, Vince McMahon wanted him to face The Undertaker later that month in Saudi Arabia.

Miro (fka Rusev) recalled on Talk Is Jericho that Vince McMahon replaced him in the casket match with Chris Jericho. This happened because, according to Miro, Vince McMahon did not like the Superstar’s reaction to him booking the match.
When Vince McMahon informed Miro that he was facing The Undertaker, the three-time United States Champion replied:
“And I’m going over, right?”
Miro thought Vince McMahon was joking around with him, so he responded by joking that he was going to win. The WWE Chairman was unhappy with Miro, which is why Jericho was suddenly announced as his replacement.
A Saudi Prince then got in touch with WWE and said he wanted Miro back in the match. Vince McMahon not only agreed, but he set up a group chat and claimed that the original match alteration was a “rib”.
“We had a group text, remember? I think it was me [Miro], you [Jericho], ‘Taker, and then Vince. It was like a group text, the weirdest group text. Vince putting himself over, ‘Oh, I’m the greatest ribber ever. Ha ha ha ha.’”
Miro ended up losing the casket match to The Undertaker, while Jericho took part in the 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble instead.
