It is that time of the year when the rumor mill has in store thousands of wild news. In the month of January when the Royal Rumble season is upon the fans, it’s evident that we will be getting plenty of news regarding surprise returns and Wrestlemania planning. This week we are getting information about Shane-O-Mac’s possible opponent at the show, the winner of the Rumble match and more. Take a look at the top 5 of those rumors:
The Undertaker is favorite to win the Rumble
It’s evident that the WWE creative is planning big with the Undertaker’s return in the Royal Rumble match. The recent suggestions from the rumor mill say that he is the favorite to win it this year. This will open certain options regarding the main event of Wrestlemania. If Cena wins vs AJ Styles, then the dream match is on at the grandest stage. Also, Styles is another option for him if he retains. Furthermore, if Roman Reigns win the Universal title then he too might end up facing Taker.
WWE to hold more tournaments
The Cruiserweight classic and the recent United Kingdom championship tournament saw massive success. Hence, the WWE is planning to bring some more tournaments on the WWE Network. They are willing to follow up the series a with an Asian and Latin American championship tournament. This will allow them to find and sign up more talents from all over the world. Furthermore, a women’s tournament is also on the hold for near future.
Paige not supposed to be back soon
It’s been almost three months that Paige has undergone the career-threatening neck surgery. Since her rehab process started much earlier, she was expected to be back rather quick. However, a recent rumor suggests that the injury is much sensitive than earlier thought and hence, it will prohibit her from wrestling for another couple of months or more. She might not be back even after Wrestlemania and the return might get delayed until this year’s summer.

AJ Styles considered as Shane McMahon’s Wrestlemania opponent
We always want to see more of Shane McMahon inside the ring. The Creative is aware of that and he will be getting another big match at Mania, for sure. As per the reports from cagesideseats.com, AJ Styles is the one who will face him at the grandest PPV. The reigning champ will lose the title and will put the blame on McMahon for not regaining it. We have actually seen the sign of things to come after Styles indicated the conspiracy against him continuing with the Elimination Chamber announcement.
Goldberg-Lesnar to main event Wrestlemania
According to rumors, Vince McMahon is willing to make the main event of this year’s Wrestlemania a non-title bout. So, neither the Universal championship match nor the WWE championship match will go last on the match card. Rather, the unfinished singles bout between Lesnar and Goldberg will conclude the biggest PPV of the year. The Boss has faith in these two individuals to pull off a money match, yet again.
