Rumor Roundup: The Original Plans For The Mystery Egg Storyline, Kevin Owens’ Future, More

3) Backstage Note On Season 2 Of Young Rock (Part 1)

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the next season of Young Rock will feature Triple H, The Undertaker, and more.

Here is what Johnson wrote:

PWInsider.com can exclusively confirm that NBC’s Young Rock is seeking to feature WWE characters from The Rock’s rookie year in WWE for season two. PWInsider.com is told there has been casting underway for Triple H, The Undertaker, Downtown Bruno Lauer (aka Harley Whippleman) and even The Brooklyn Brawler, Steve Lombardi, who was one of the first to wrestle The Rock inside the ring. The real life Lauer made a cameo as himself in the first season, but we are told this will be a fictionalized version.

My Take:

  • I can’t wait to see the actor who plays The Undertaker. And Triple H as well. Should be fun.

2) Backstage Note On Season 2 Of Young Rock (Part 2)

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the second season of Young Rock will also feature Superstar Bill Dundee, Jerry Lawler and more in a Memphis-themed episode.

Here is what Johnson wrote:

PWInsider.com has also confirmed that plans for a Memphis-themed episode currently also features Superstar Bill Dundee, so casting is underway for a Dundee. PWInsider.com has previously reported plans to include Jerry Lawler, Tommy Rich and a young Bam Bam Bigelow (as Crusher Yurkov) for an episode set in 1980s Memphis Wrestling. Lawler and Bigelow may recur in the series should they move forward with additional Memphis-era episodes.

My Take:

  • This should be an awesome episode. I can’t wait for season 2.
