Former WWE Tag Team Champion Rene Dupree spoke on SportsKeeda's UnSKripted and discussed various topics. One of the topics touched upon was the fizzling out of his push early on in his career.

Dupree revealed that he was in line for a major push. However, due to a hernia, his push took a halt, and by the time he was ready to return, the idea of giving him a push was gone.

''Backstage, Vince (McMahon) was looking at me. And the doctor at that time was a team doctor. Vince talked to the doctor and the doctor came and said, 'We've got to get that hernia fixed.' So they sent me to a doctor in Louisville, KY to get the hernia fixed. I thought, two or three weeks and I'll be back on the road. I was out for eight months,'' said Dupree.

#1 Booker T wants Alexa Bliss to win the Royal Rumble

WWE legend Booker T wants to see Bliss' in-ring return at the Royal Rumble. Not only that, he thinks it would be a good idea if the former RAW Women's champion wins the match and goes on to main-event WrestleMania.

''We (WWE) need her. That's what I'm talking about. I like Alexa Bliss and the character she's doing right now. I know merchandise may be good and what not, but as far as strengthening the women's locker room, we need Alexa Bliss on the roster going on to do what she does,'' said Booker T

Bliss returned to television a few weeks back but is yet to make her in-ring return. She is likely to be part of the Women's Royal Rumble this Saturday.
