This weekend’s ‘Royal Rumble’ event could be one for the ages.
Despite yesterday’s high-profile story of GUNTHER being penciled in to win this weekend’s Men’s Rumble match, it appears as if that’s not the case.
According to Fightful Select, the originally thought of WrestleMania match between WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins and the returning CM Punk is still the working plan for WrestleMania 40, despite Rollins’ torn MCL and meniscus injuries.
“Those close to several sources mentioned in the article said that the adjustment would be ‘news to them.’ Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk was the active plan at least as of last weekend, and Rollins was hopeful to be good to go for WrestleMania despite his MCL and meniscus tears. Despite the face to face promo, as of Monday, Punk vs. Rhodes was not planned for WrestleMania, at least as relayed to them, but was absolutely a match that was in consideration ‘at any given time.’ Another said that as far as the original plans for Rhodes and WrestleMania, it’s been a taxing month regarding all of the rumors.”
