WWE cancel legend’s appearance
WWE brought all the stars out for their debut show on Netflix, but the Monday Night Raw could have had perhaps their biggest female star of all-time, too.
According to Bodyslam.net, Becky Lynch was pencilled to make her return to WWE after over six months away, but the plan was cancelled at the last minute.
WWE reportedly replaced Lynch with The Undertaker.
Lynch was scheduled to appear at the conclusion of Ripley and Morgan, presumably setting up her WrestleMania plans with the winner.
But the company decided to go with The Undertaker’s moment alongside Ripley instead as the WWE Hall of Famer returned as the American Badass and celebrated with the newly crowned champion.
WWE favorite returns
The Undertaker made his latest return to the WWE during last night’s show.
He pulled up on his iconic motorcycle moments after Rhea Ripley’s victory over Liv Morgan.
John Cena on farewell year
John Cena has been asked about the prospect of bringing back some of his former personas during his final year with the WWE.
He said, “Peacemaker is a DC thing. You never know, never say never, right? The great thing about the farewell tour, tonight, we debuted a new outfit. It was very regionally focused.
“The Prototype, I don’t know if I have all the string to grow out the crappy blonde hair again. The Prototype wore different colors. The colors of the home team, so to speak. I’m really looking forward to trying to go back to the way I started.
“Thug Life, the Dr. of Thuganomics John Cena would wear home or away jerseys. There is elements of everything already in front of you.
“Hopefully, by the end of all this, if you want to see a certain facet of the 23 years I’ve been in the business, hopefully you can get that little sprinkle. I’m definitely focused on that and hopefully we can deliver.”
CM Punk on WrestleMania
CM Punk has admitted that he finds it “scary” to think of headlining WrestleMania for the first time.
Speaking about defeating Seth Rollins, he said: “While I think you would be foolish to say that it doesn’t matter, I would also feel it’s foolish to hold me to the same ideas and things that I said 10-12 years ago.
“A lot of other people think that maybe I need to main-event WrestleMania to solidify anything I’ve ever done. I could have never come back here and had a Hall of Fame career.
“If that opportunity arises, I’m not going to shy away from it, because it scares the hell out of me, frankly. If your dreams don’t scare you, you need to find bigger ones.
“Main eventing the first Raw on Netflix is a pretty big deal, though. Nobody else can say they did that.
I want people in the locker room to feel the way I did. I want people to look at me and go, ‘That should be me. I want that opportunity. I want that situation. I want that high-pressure match.’
“Pressure will absolutely make diamonds and there are too many talented people in that locker room to be complacent.”
Hulk Hogan’s appearance
It’s fair to say Hulk Hogan’s appearance at last night’s show split opinion online…
The 71-year-old was booed by the crowd at the Intuit Dome.
Stars in the building
Vanessa Hudgens was among the stars to attend last night’s WWE Raw on Netflix show.
The actress, 36, beamed as she was pictured inside the Intuit Dome.
