It Seems WWE Wanted Shawn Michaels To Appear At Tomorrow's GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE Event
WWE reportedly wanted former champ and Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to appear at tomorrow's Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, but The Heartbreak Kid was forced to turn down the offer...
For the first time ever, tomorrow's Greatest Royal Rumble match will feature 50 men instead of the usual 30, and it looks like WWE has been pulling out all the stops to get as many Legends involved in the event as possible.
During the most recent episode of his podcast, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman revealed that the company reached out to Shawn Michaels to appear, but he had no interest.
"[There's] a lot of money being thrown around. It's an insane amount of money being thrown around. I know that this weekend I was in Baltimore and I was with Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash and we were talking about that. They wanted to get Shawn [Michaels], and he was just like, 'you know what, don't even bother sending me an offer and trying to tempt me.' Because there's huge money offers. And he's going, 'I got a thing with one of my kids, and I'm doing that, and that's all there is to it.'"
It's no secret that WWE is spending serious cash on the event, and they're expecting just as serious a return for their efforts.
The Heartbreak Kid may not be a part of the show, but we can expect to see the likes of Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker and many more.
