Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving the 2024 Royal Rumble and The Undertaker.
• Rey Mysterio, sidelined due to a knee injury since November, is planning a return to WWE television in the coming weeks.
Here’s what he said on the Bakers Banerting Podcast:
“I’m really working hard on my physical therapy. I just had knee surgery, thanks to Santos Escobar, and his time will come eventually.
I do hope that I can return for the Rumble, if not shortly after that; I am working very hard to make my return as soon as possible.”
• During the build-up to their Casket Match at WWF In Your House: Beware of Dog in 1996, Goldust touched The Undertaker’s crotch after he and Mankind laid out The Deadman.
During a Q&A session on his Six Feet Under podcast, Undertaker was asked about his reaction to this moment.
Here’s what The Phenom said:
“Alright, you asked the question. I mean, I was just hoping I didn’t become erect (laughs). He does have soft hands for a big man… That would have destroyed me. I would have been done. I didn’t like it.”
When asked if he knew this moment was coming, Undertaker said:
“I wasn’t even close.”
