Breaking News: WWE Confirms Rusev’s Casket Match with Undertaker is Back On!

Does anyone have whiplash yet?

After it was announced that The Undertaker would battle Rusev in a Casket Match at the upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble special, WWE made a last-minute decision to replace the “Bulgarian Brute” in the already bizarre bout with returning legend Chris Jericho. The explanation given? Apparently Lana didn’t want to her husband competing in something so barbaric, AND ON RUSEV DAY OF ALL DAYS! 

Now it appears the match is back on. Just moments ago WWE.com confirmed that it will indeed be Rusev taking on The Deadman in a Casket Match next Friday in Saudi Arabia, and once again the company is using Lana’s “change of heart” as a storyline reason to cover up for their own frantic decision-making. While not explicitly mentioned in the article, it is assumed that Jericho will still be in action as a part of the unprecedented 50-Man Royal Rumble match that will headline the special, which is what he was originally advertised for.

After much thought, I have notified @WWE officials that I have changed my mind. @RusevBUL will celebrate #RusevDay by burying The Undertaker in the sands of Saudi Arabi and will win the Casket Match at #WWEGRR ! #RusevCrush ! Have a Happy Rusev Day !
