Steve-O didn't even get to go to his own premiere.
The stars of Jackass Forever invaded the WWE Royal Rumble this year but one name was noticeably absent when Johnny Knoxville made his walk to the ring and that was Steve-O.
Steve-O, who had his WWE moment when he was on the receiving end of a beating courtesy of Umaga back in 2007, revealed in a recent vlog that he had to leave the Royal Rumble early because he tested positive for COVID-19.
"Now, keep in mind, we've been getting tested for COVID every single day, no matter what we're doing, and we're always negative, until I show up at the Royal Rumble and they say I was positive. So now I gotta leave the Royal Rumble immediately and I'm stuck in St. Louis. I can't go into the airport. I can't get on an airplane. So what do I do? I get my tour bus driver to come pick me up. We're parked in a parking lot in Missouri. Turns out getting the bus wrapped with my face all over it drew some attention. So we drove all the way home to LA where the premiere is happening without me."
Before then, the jackass crew was having fun in St Louis including Wee Man getting slammed through a table by Brock Lesnar. In the same vlog, Steve-O went to check on Wee Man, who said he was too inebriated to even feel the pain of Brock Lesnar slamming him through a table.
“I was so drunk, I didn't even feel it [laughs],” Wee Man remarked when asked if it hurt.
Steve-O says he flew into the Royal Rumble with the eventual Royal Rumble winner, Ronda Rousey, and her husband, Travis Browne. In the past, Steve-O and Ronda have talked about her time in WWE.
During an appearance on Steve-O’s podcast, Ronda Rousey stirred up some controversy with her comments on the nature of pro wrestling. Read more at this link.
While Steve-O did not make the red carpet premiere for Jackass Forever, Sami Zayn certainly did. The experience did not go well for him. Learn more here.
