#2. Vince McMahon is impressed with Tyson Fury

Heavyweight Boxing sensation Tyson Fury's short yet lucrative program in the WWE was considered to be a big success. The Gypsy King defeated Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel and reportedly made a good sum of money for the special attraction match.

Fury was recently interviewed by talkSPORT and he revealed that Vince McMahon was quite impressed with how quickly he took to pro wrestling.

The Heavyweight Champion revealed what Vince told him backstage.

"Vince McMahon said he has recruited sports stars from all different sports and he has never seen anyone come into their game, have a couple of training sessions, and pick it up like that. I looked like a natural in there!." H/t Credit: talkSPORT

Fury also hinted at possibly returning for WrestleMania 36 and added that he would love to have a match against Brock Lesnar.

Dave Meltzer stated in the WON that the company is under the impression that the card is overloaded and that is because the two Elimination matches will have three teams, which could end up having nearly ten to fourteen falls per match.

It was also revealed that while WWE has heavily pushed Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley, the match is not expected to be added to the Survivor Series card and it may instead happen at TLC.
