EC3, Bobby Lashley Could Be Surprise Entrants In Royal Rumble

Published

TNA/Impact Wrestling lost two of it’s biggest stars recently as both Bobby Lashley and EC3 parted ways with the promotion.

PWInsider reports that there is “absolutely WWE interest” in EC3, and we reported the mutual interest between Lashley and WWE.

However, a source with inside knowledge of Royal Rumble planning says that it is “a possibility” that one or both make an appearance at the Royal Rumble PPV later this month.

It is not unheard of for WWE to plan major surprises, including debuts, for the Rumble match and both EC3, who spent time in WWe as Derrick Bateman prior to his TNA run, and Lashley would be major surprises.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline reports that the door is still open for Lashley to return to WWE.

Killer Kross

Killer Kross made headlines recently when he requested his release from Impact Wrestling, and now Kross has discussed the decision to ask for his departure from the company in a brand new interview with the ‘Wrestling Perspective’ podcast.

“I personally really don’t really need much,” Kross said (h/t Pro Wrestling Sheet). “But it’s just different when you have people to take care of, circumstances change in life. You can’t anticipate it. […] Being told to go get another job by your job, that’s f****d up. You’re struggling to make ends meet taking care of people, and the job that you can barely afford to have tells you to go get another job so you can keep that job. It’s like working at a corporation being told to go work at McDonald’s. It’s a weird feeling.”

“[…] I found out how much people are being paid, and I wanted to be paid on the same scale as that,” Kross continued.

“I wasn’t asking for anything that was honestly unreasonable. In all sincerity. And I’m not gonna bullsh*t you guys. I really wasn’t. That’s ok if the company does not agree that I am worth that. I will not take offense to that. That’s ok. It’s not my company. I’m just an employee. And I’m not saying that because I think I’m supposed to say that. But if they really feel that way after one year, if they feel that I’m not worth what I’m asking…professionally, kindfully, please…let me go somewhere else, and I will prove it to everyone that I can draw what I’m asking for.”
