Tough Enough To Rumble
WWE "Tough Enough" winner Josh Bredl received a lot of heat for a tweet he posted calling the Social Outcasts stable the Social Jobbers. Bredl, who goes by the name Bronson Mathews in NXT, was called out by Kevin Owens and others on Twitter for what he said.
He's under contract for $250,000 for winning the reality show competition and things could get interesting for him on Sunday. There are rumors that Bredl could be used in the Rumble Match, and with people already mad at him, it could get ugly, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com.
Rumble Returns
The WWE released a video teasing possible surprise entrants for the 30-man Rumble Match. Those names include Seth Rollins, Sting, Daniel Bryan, The Undertaker, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Goldberg.
Sting (neck), Rollins (leg) and Bryan (concussion) haven't wrestled since sustaining injuries, while Undertaker is likely to return soon to create hype for WrestleMania season, Goldberg has had a tough relationship with the WWE recently and Austin has been non-commital about a possible return.
Heyman Hustle
Paul Heyman appeared on Pix 11 News via telephone to hype up the event. Brock Lesnar's agent called Roman Reigns "legit" and teased that The Wyatt Family and the 29 other Superstars may jump "The Beast" in the Rumble Match.
