This article rounds up all the happenings from the past week. We have gathered them here in a compilation called SKFabe. Each of the news updates could have a big bearing on the future of the product, going forward.
So, happy weekend reading, folks. Let us know your thoughts and feelings about Elimination Chamber in the comments.
Here’s what’s been happening in the world of WWE…
#1 The Undertaker working out for an imminent return?
Yes, we understand that The Undertaker may just have been training because he wants to. However, we are wrestling fans and we are not reasonable. Michelle McCool posted a video of her training weights with her husband. And the video set the internet on fire, immediately.
Questions emerged. Is The Undertaker headed for a clash with John Cena at WrestleMania 34? Or did the symbolic gesture of The Undertaker leaving his trenchcoat, gloves and hat in the middle of the ring at WrestleMania 33 signal the end of his wrestling career?
Only time will tell us what the Instagram post means! One positive that we can all take from the post is that The Undertaker seems healthy and more importantly, he seems happy too.

#2 Jim Ross praised WWE on their new hire
Jim Ross may have been the voice of The Attitude Era, but even so many years down the line, he’s still very much involved with professional wrestling. In addition to calling the occasional WWE special, he will be calling Strong Style Evolved on AXS TV.
We caught up with him this week, and picked his mind. Ross spoke about a myriad of topics, including Jeremy Borash. He had a lot of praise for the former Impact Wrestling announcer/producer/creative person:
#3 Rosa Mendes spoke about what she misses about WWE
It’s been a year since Rosa Mendes retired from the ring. We caught up with her and asked her what’s up in an interview:
Here’s another thing she misses about the business. She also misses her travelling partner- Natalya. This is what she had to say about the SmackDown Live superstar:
Despite all the bumps and bruises along the way, Mendes says she’ll do it all over again. Let’s hope she has the chance to return, even if it is for a moment.
Would you like to see her come back as a manager?
#4 Braun Strowman reveals who gave him his break
Braun Strowman has been astounding us with his feats of strength on a near-weekly basis. Long before he was ever in the company, there was yet another man known for his strength, who would introduce one and all to his Hall of Pain.
Strowman revealed in an interview with SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, that it was Mark Henry who gave him his first break. The two men have remained friends since. Strowman also described himself as the last of a dying breed, the giants!
This is what he had to say about Henry helping him sign with WWE:
#5 Gallows wants the Young Bucks in WWE
Luke Gallows caught up with us during a WWE teleconference, this week. He discussed a whole variety of topics pertaining to the company and beyond. You can check out the whole interview, at this location. But here’s something that we really found interesting.
Luke Gallows weighed in on the Young Bucks, the most popular duo in the independents. He believes that they should come to WWE someday soon!
#6 Cesaro named his favourite WWE superstars
Not so long ago, it seemed as if Cesaro’s WWE run would be middling at best. Then followed a ‘Best of 7’ series with Sheamus, where both men elevated their game and stock in the company. They came together to form ‘The Bar’. And they have not looked back since.
Cesaro was interviewed by Sports Illustrated and asked to name his top three wrestlers today. He answered without hesitation:
Yes, Roman Reigns makes it to his list. What do you have to say about that?
What would your own list of top 3 wrestlers in the WWE be?
#7 The Usos want the 3-D passed to them
The Usos have been lighting the SmackDown Live tag team division on fire. We caught up with them during a conference call. We asked Jimmy Uso what he thought about the Dudleyz going into the WWE Hall of Fame. He had this to say:
On that note, we conclude this week’s edition of SKFabe. We’ll see you again, for live coverage of Elimination Chamber. See you soon!
