7 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Feb 25)

By Michael Hamflett / February 26, 2020

1. Booking Tyson Fury?

WWE

No f*cking thanks.

'The Gypsy King' wasn't much cop during his last WWE stint, but Booker T and Christian were tasked with plotting his next move in the company following his victory over Deontay Wilder last week.

'Captain Charisma' painted an abysmal picture of Fury starting some sort of skiffle band with Braun Strowman and Elias, whilst Booker pitched Baron Corbin because they're both really tall.

Net result from the suggestions? Hopefully he's never used again.
