Brock Lesnar almost quit WWE in 2012:


UFC president Dana White says Brock Lesnar was set to quit WWE and rejoin UFC for a match vs Fedor Emelianenko, the only thing he says that killed the defection was Emelianenko lost his Father shortly before the contracts were due to be signed.

He later conceded he does not expect to see him in the Octagon ever again...

"From what I understand, he is absolutely, positive made the decision not to fight ever again... he's going to do his stint in the WWE and then go away," White said. "He's got a big farm up in Canada. He loves to farm and he loves to be with his family out in the middle of nowhere."

No word from Lesnar or WWE on this.

Ryback:


Has promised to break Kane's record of 11 eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match tonight.

Royal Rumble guests?:


Shelton Benjamin and Carlito are making their way from an indy event they were at yesterday to the Royal Rumble, interestingly WWE Alumni Chris Masters and The Hurricane are making the 30 minute trip with them.

The Shield:


Thoughts are The Shield will be entered into the Royal Rumble match tonight, but there is no conformation as of yet.

Dolph Ziggler:


Will enter the Royal Rumble match at Number 1 or 2, and talk is he will do a Shawn Michaels and go coast to coast.

For me it makes no sense to have Ziggler win, he already has the Money In The Bank contract, so why does he need to win a second title opportunity???.

Royal Rumble live commentary on Shaggy's Wrestling Page later, so come and have a chat as it happens.
