Josh From Tough Enough To Debut In The Royal Rumble?

An in-ring "hazing" could end up happening live on PPV Sunday night.

The male winner of 2015's WWE Tough Enough, Josh Bredl, made headlines this week when he made some disparaging comments on Twitter about The Social Outcasts during Monday's edition of RAW. Bredl called them the "Social Jobbers," and he received some serious blow-back from several WWE stars, including Stardust and Kevin Owens. Bredl then dug an even deeper hole for himself when he responded to Kevin Owens' tweet about blocking him with a "LOL." Owens, a man known for always getting the best of people in Twitter disputes, responded appropriately: https://twitter.com/FightOwensFight/status/689357442711474176 Ever since this all went down, the talk in WWE has been about all of the heat Bredl has made for himself in the locker room. As someone who was always going to have to earn respect with the other wrestlers due to being handed a $250,000 contract with no real experience in the business, he really made things hard on himself this week. Bryan Alvarez reported recently on Wrestling Observer Live that his sources have told him that there are several within WWE who want to give Bredl a "hazing." It now appears that they may actually have the chance live on television. Nearly everyone from the NXT roster will be in attendance at the Royal Rumble on Sunday evening, and Alvarez now reports that there is talk of putting Bredl into the Rumble match itself. Obviously, this would make things very interesting as many of the veterans on the roster would like to get their hands on him for real. Alvarez did note that Bredl appearing in the match is no lock at this point, but there has been some talk about having him involved. Keep in mind, things change sometimes on an hourly basis in WWE. However, if Bredl does walk out as a surprise entrant, keep an eye on how "tight" the other wrestlers work with him in the match. It could end up being one of the more interesting portions of the show. Do you want to see Josh debut in the Royal Rumble? Share your reactions below in the comments thread.
