#2. Has Tyson Kidd "grown frustrated" in WWE?
Trending
TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) usually helps produce matches for female competitors in WWE. However, he did not work on the Women's Rumble this year.
Sean Ross Sapp spoke about Wilson's status with the company on the SRS Q&A podcast:
Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE
“A few weeks ago I had heard that TJ Wilson had grown frustrated."
Sapp also noted that he did not report this story earlier because he received conflicting information from sources close to Wilson:
"One person who told me the information said, 'heard he wasn't there, he didn't show up, wasn't happy with how things were going, and he's no longer there.' However, I follow up with WWE, I follow up with people close to him and they say, 'no, TJ is still with the company.'" (H/T - WrestlingNews.co)
Fit Finlay was eventually brought on to produce the match. Before this development, however, several stars reportedly refused to perform in the 30-woman contest when they became aware of TJ Wilson's absence.
Additional speculation suggests that Wilson has taken some time off from WWE.
#1. Plans for Bron Breakker's Royal Rumble appearance were canceled
This year's Rumble matches featured appearances from names outside of WWE's current roster, but the company's higher-ups did not book any NXT talent to appear during the event.
According to reports, Bron Breakker could have had a spot with Dolph Ziggler in the 30-man bout. Here's what Dave Meltzer stated in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
"There was some talk of doing a Bron Breakker spot with Dolph Ziggler to build NXT, but the decision was made not to have anyone from NXT in the Rumble."
Despite being the current NXT Champion, Breakker had his first televised match for WWE's third brand in September 2021. In comparison, Ziggler is an established veteran at this point. The 41-year-old has been performing in WWE since he signed with the company in 2004.
