Shane returned at WWE Royal Rumble 2022 as a surprise entrant and reportedly had a lot of heat for trying to book the match around himself.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro-Wrestling podcast is now reporting that people within WWE were upset because returning star Bad Bunny’s Royal Rumble entry spot was changed numerous times. The company reportedly didn’t want to have a negative perception in front of such a major outside star.
