BIGGEST SURPRISE WWE COULD PULL OFF IN GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE, ZELINA VEGA, CLASSIC NWA/WCW FOOTAGE ON NETWORK AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2018-04-26 10:00:00

Given that Royal Rumbles are often built around big surprises, what do you think would be the biggest surprise WWE could pull off in the Greatest Royal Rumble?

If you mean talents who aren't under contract to WWE that are out there, the biggest name would be Hulk Hogan.  We've reported in recent months that WWE and Hogan have had discussions about working together down the line, so if they could slip Hogan onto the show as a surprise, that in my mind, would be the one.  

If there was one independent female talent you'd like to see in WWE, who would it be?

I've written this before but I really think Viper (who worked as Piper Niven in the Mae Young Classic) is excellent all around and honestly, I am surprised that she's not signed to a WWE deal already.

Do you think the WWE network will ever have the Crockett Cup tournaments or the Starcadde from Japan?

At some point, the material that was taped and released by Turner Home Entertainment is a no brainer in terms of future additions for the WWE Network.  There's lot of Crockett Cup content that was filmed but never released, so it could be that it has to be edited.  It's entirely possible WWE will do that eventually, but they have so much content that they will be in no rush to get there, but I would really think at some point they will get there.

What do you think will be the next vintage drop on the Network?

One would think Sunday Night Heat is coming, but we've heard the plan for next month is to round out Mid-Atlantic TV tapes.

Zelina Vega on Smackdown looks familiar.  Where is she from?

Vega is the former Rosita in TNA.  She's originally from NYC and has been wrestling for about a decade.  She's a major star in my opinion.
