Did WWE snub 58-year-old legend's Royal Rumble accolade on RAW? What you may have missed!

WWE seems to have snubbed a 58-year-old legend’s major Royal Rumble accolade on RAW tonight. The superstar is none other than Shawn Michaels.

Michael Cole referenced Stone Cold Steve Austin’s back-to-back Rumble wins on commentary this week. He referred to The Rattlesnake as the only superstar to win back-to-back over-the-top-rope extravaganzas.

Both Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan achieved the milestone before Steve Austin. However, it was not a snub. Cole’s comments seem to be a momentary error as he referenced the superstars and their back-to-back Royal Rumble wins later during the show.

This wasn’t the only botch of the night. Earlier during the show, Gunther botched the day of the upcoming Premium Live Event when he said he’d win the high-stakes match-up on Sunday. The show goes down this Saturday.
