Former WWE star Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon) talked about the rumors that she was going to be part of the 2020 Royal Rumble since a graphic with her name appeared on the titantron just prior to the show, in an interview with Fightful.com:
Finding out about the rumors: “I found out from social media as well. I was like, ‘What?’ I go, ‘Maybe my titantron had a lot of coloring.’ I don’t know, but maybe they did that to throw people off. I don’t know because it’s hard to keep a secret in wrestling. Something always leaks, you know what I mean? Which is a shame.”
Not being able to appear: “I was (just getting off) the Jericho Cruise. Yeah, I was in Miami. I was trying to stay off my phone because I wanted [to be] in the moment. I was visiting family, I was like, ‘We’re always glued to our phone,’ and so I went back and I had missed a ton of e-mails, text messages, everything. I was like, ‘They must be testing out the coloring on their titantron because my picture came up there.’ But, I was already in Miami, the following day I was going to go on the Jericho Cruise. So, I couldn’t.”
If she ever heard why her titantron was used: “No. Not in the company, no. Nuh-uh. Just on social media, just going, ‘Oh, you know…’ I didn’t respond because I didn’t want to… I don’t know what to say ‘cause I don’t know the back scene because I’m not part of the company any more. So, I couldn’t tell you why they were testing it out.”
