Lead Rumor: Brock Lesnar’s return
Brock Lesnar is back in WWE, as he was always going to be, to have one more match with Oba Femi. They split the first two matches, and are upping the stakes for the rubber match — Hell in a Cell.
We learned all this on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Atlantic City. According to the Wrestling Observer, the plan had been “in place for a long time.” WWE always knew they were getting to this.
Now, the question becomes whether or not they are going to
acknowledge this as the final match in Lesnar’s storied career. The current expectation is that is the case but you just never know in the wacky world of pro wrestling.
Either way, WWE had all this planned long ago.
Other rumors floating around
- WrestleVotes says the reaction backstage to Sami Zayn’s WWE title win was, unsurprisingly, overwhelmingly positive, from in-ring folks to parking guys.
- According to PW Insider, there were “multiple WWE firings last week,” with 2-4 folks in the digital department getting let go and there may have been others too.
- Self Made Pro claims Jon Moxley wanted to work with Kenny Omega at All In London but there are no plans to do that match.
- Mike Santana is likely headed for WWE after Slammiversary, says Wrestling Observer Radio.
- PW Insider, meanwhile, says the company was very happy with the Slammiversary event on the whole, with the feeling it was just what they needed right now.
- They also say Road Dogg is still working through the process of signing with TNA, and all expectations are that he is indeed going to be signed and become a member of the creative team.
