Rusev Out, Y2J In - The Undertaker Will Now Take On Chris Jericho At THE GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE
A not-so happy Rusev Day, everyone. WWE has announced that The Undertaker will actually take on Chris Jericho and not The Bulgarian Brute, in a casket match at The Greatest Royal Rumble event. Check it out...
Sorry Rusev fans, but The Bulgarian Brute will not be competing against The Undertaker in a casket match at the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia later this month.
WWE has officially announced that The Dean Man will actually take on Chris Jericho instead:
“In a stunning turn of events, The Undertaker will battle Chris Jericho in a Casket Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27.
Originally, the Casket Match was to be between The Deadman and Rusev
No reason for the change was given, but there is speculation that it might have something to do with 'Taker's wife Michele McCool taking issue with a TMZ interview with Rusev and Lana.
That seems like a stretch, but Undertaker obviously has a lot of stroke with the company so you never know.
Hopefully we'll find out more this coming Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE.
