Steve-O was set for a spot at WWE Royal Rumble 2022.
Johnny Knoxville participated in the 2022 Royal Rumble, but was quickly eliminated by Sami Zayn. The elimination led to Knoxville vs. Zayn at WrestleMania 38.
"Jackass" crew member Steve-O previously revealed that he was at the Royal Rumble event, but was sent home due to COVID.
On the latest episode of his podcast, Steve-O's Wild Ride, Steve-O provided more information, revealing that he was supposed to be alongside Knoxville.
"I ended up testing positive for COVID and was unable to participate in the Royal Rumble. I was going to be a henchman kind of thing. It was basically walking Knoxville out to the ring," said Steve-O.
Steve-O was absent for the WrestleMania 38 bout between Knoxville and Zayn as well.
Steve-O has gotten physical in the ring before, famously getting destroyed on a 2007 episode of WWE Raw by Umaga.
