5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 1)

5. What's Hornswoggle Up To These Days...?

...his nuts in Zelina Vega's guts, if he'd had his wicked way on Sunday, Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

During the Women's Royal Rumble match, Zelina Vega concocted a cunning plan. Instead of wrestling, which we are otherwise told women enjoy doing nowadays, Vega hid underneath the ring. We were reminded of this several times, which honestly was welcome reprieve from the botch-fest elsewhere. Maybe we were in for a Santino Marella-esque spot at the finish, where Vega was to make us feel an unbearable anxiety at the idea of her eliminating Becky Lynch.

Or maybe Hornswoggle could chase her backstage under the implication that he wanted to have sex with her, despite Vega showing absolutely no sign of consent.

What else, though? What else was implied here? Vega acted repulsed at 'Swoggle, who showed no sign of correctly interpreting the signal. And yet, he kept coming. He chased her backstage. What would have happened, had he cornered her? Would he have told her off for trespassing on his property, because in canon he lives there? He didn't look angry. He looked more horned-up than Jim Ross on Twitter.

If this was a rib at the expense of Austin Aries, then that's...OK. The implication otherwise was not.
