Updated: 2 HUGE Royal Rumble Surprises Leaked


As we just noted moments ago here on the website, Booker T and Kevin Nash are scheduled to appear as surprise entrants for tomorrow night's 40-Man Royal Rumble Match.

As noted earlier, Booker T was expected earlier based on recent talks with organization officials and his scheduled appearance at the New Orleans Comic Con this weekend being canceled. Company sources confirmed this morning that he is set for the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. He's en-route to Boston, MA as of this writing.

WWE sources have also confirmed that Nash is booked for the Rumble match and is scheduled to fly into Boston later today. He'll arrive at some point this evening. He was in discussions with TNA Wrestling officials as late as yesterday to finalize a contract with the organization, but instead opted to return to World Wrestling Entertainment.

Meanwhile, TNA Wrestling sources have confirmed that discussions with Nash fell through. Both sides had been negotiating on and off with sources indicating at one point that a deal was finalized. An infuriated Nash then accused TNA personnel of leaking the information, which led to new rounds of negotiations which did not go over so well. He admitted last week to a Puerto Rican newspaper that he was in talks with TNA regarding a return to the organization. The aforementioned discussions ended within the past 24 to 48 hours and he wound up agreeing to a deal with WWE. No word on how long the deal is for or if this has to do with the Hall of Fame as of this writing.
