Ahead of tomorrow night’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view, many fans have been speculating about the identity of the mystery wrestler who will replace Bryan Danielson against Zack Sabre Jr on the show.
By far the most speculated name for the spot is Claudio Castagnoli, the former Cesaro, who has been a free agent since he left WWE earlier this year.
Fightful Select (subscription required) has provided an update on Cesaro’s status ahead of the show. Fightful spoke to several promoters several months ago who said they had reached out to Claudio, but there didn’t seem to be much interest on that side of things at that point in time.
However, Claudio has been in the ring, Fightful has now confirmed. Claudio has been at Flatbacks in Orlando multiple times over the last few weeks, training in the ring.
There has been no update as to whether Claudio will be the replacement for Danielson, but he has been in the ring training in recent weeks.
While Claudio is the most speculated replacement for Danielson, he’s far from the only possible name. Here are seven possible names who could replace Danielson.
