Johnson informs that Rey Mysterio is not signed to a full-time WWE contract, and this was a one-off deal for him. Johnson points out that Mysterio got a great reaction from the Philadelphia crowd, and he suspects that WWE would be interested in having Mysterio return to the company moving forward.
A listener calls into the show and says that he had a huge issue with Rousey debuting with Roddy Piper’s colours and branding. Taz says he had no issue with Rousey using Piper’s colours because she certainly did this as a tribute to Piper, given that it’s well known that she’s been a big fan of Piper her entire life.
A final caller mentions that the Women’s Rumble looked somewhat disjointed from time to time. Taz agrees and says this is because there were a lot of returning women in this match who hadn’t wrestled in years. This led to some clunky moments, but for the most part the match was fine.
That sums up today’s episode of The Taz Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya tomorrow for another recap!
