WWE News: McMahon Livid Over Royal Rumble Error, Jericho Turned Down Offer to Appear

– As previously reported, Titus O’Neil was supposed to be eliminated from the Royal Rumble on Sunday in one second to tie with Santino Marella’s record of the fastest Rumble elimination in history. However, timing issues with O’Neil, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns caused him to be eliminated in four seconds. The Wrestling Observer claims that Vince McMahon was furious about the error. The spot was the only one in the match that had to have perfect timing.

– In addition, the Observer reports that the WWE asked Chris Jericho on January 19 about possibly being a surprise entrant for the match. Jericho declined the offer because he is not interested in an on-camera return unless the appearance has some big meaning and value behind it.
