WWE Extreme Rules takes place tonight from Philadelphia. People are assuming that the White Rabbit will be revealed tonight. We could get the conclusion to WWE’s viral multi-media marketing campaign tonight. It’s gotten the wrestling world trying to guess who the White Rabbit is.
The obvious answer is Bray Wyatt making his return to the company after being cut in July, 2021. At one time Wyatt was considered one of the top stars in the company. He main invented pay per view after pay per view. He lost a lot of steam after getting into a program with Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss. We last saw him as the Fiend/Firefly Funhouse character. All signs are pointing to Wyatt being revealed as the eponymous White Rabbit.
However, there are other options out there that we’ve been talking about. Karrion Kross went under the White Rabbit in Lucha Underground. While he made his return recently to the company, could this be a gimmick change? I’d be a bit disappointed if Kross is who it’s revealed to be as we saw him back already. I don’t think a gimmick change for a newly returned wrestler would do him a ton of good.
Another option people have been talking about is The Rock. We haven’t seen The Rock wrestle a real match since Wrestlemania 29 against John Cena. He’s been rumoured to wrestle a match at every Wrestlemania since then. Hollywood, understandably doesn’t like their most marketable star getting banged up Wrestling. So it’s been a while since we’ve seen Dwayne lace them for a match longer than 5 seconds. The Rock coming back would lead to a program with Roman Reigns that would culminate at Wrestlemania. I ultimately do think Roman Reigns will wrestle The Rock at Wrestlemania next year. I don’t think he’ll be the White Rabbit though. Roman’s got different fish to fry with Logan Paul. I think we see some more dissension between the Bloodline before Rock returns. I can’t wait till we see Bloodline Civil War and the Rock has to come in to fix things. Not happening tonight though!
The next option and arguably the worst is Baron Corbin. We saw him hop into a limo with John Bradshaw Layfield weeks ago but haven’t seen him since. I think this guy absolutely stinks. He’s boring, he’s average in the ring and his gimmicks have all been brutal. One thing, if he is the White Rabbit what a dramatic turn for him. Goofy old Happy Corbin turns into this dark Undertaker like character. It wouldn’t be expected that’s for sure. I think we see him back as a stock broker gimmick. He hits it big with JBL as his life coach.
I’ve seen people talking about this being about a group. One that includes several people I’ve mentioned above. A stable with Bray Wyatt, Karrion Kross w/ Scarlet, Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin debuting. Honestly, I love that idea. It gives something for all of them to do and they have clear, defined roles. Bray’s the leader, Kross is the enforcer that makes sure you don’t touch Bray and the team of Corbin/Strowman provide added muscle that can dominate every team there right now. I love stables in wrestling and this new one would work well with their current top stable, The Bloodline.
Let me know who you think it’ll be and if you think they’ll be revealed at Extreme Rules tonight. I’m going with Bray Wyatt. Everything’s pointing to him and it’s time for him to come back to wrestling viewers’ TVs. I’ll be live Tweeting the show tonight so please follow along there. I’ll also be live reacting on my YouTube!
