WWE Top 5 Rumors At This Time: December 30, 2016

An interesting year in terms of fresh storytelling is coming to an end for WWE as we look to kick-start the next year in a big way. The big Royal Rumble PPV in January is all set from San Antonio, Texas. So, all the rumors at this time are suggesting planning for the next year. WWE is looking to bring some new talents on the main roster to revamp the main event scenario. There are also some big planning going on with the existing names. So, here is the summation for all of them.

 

 

Roman Reigns to get big push for Wrestlemania

If the last episode of Raw was any indication then a big push is on the cards from Roman Reigns. Quite significantly he stood tall to close the show with Rollins. He is said to come out victorious as the new Universal champion at the Royal Rumble PPV. Rumors also suggest that the winner between Zayn and Strowman in the last man standing match will be the next number one contender for the Universal title. It indicates that Reigns vs. Strowman feud is on the cards, as well.

Brock Lesnar to join UFC

The beast incarnate is not happy at all with his suspension from the MMA industry. His win against Mark Hunt has been removed after he was tested positive, earlier this month. Lesnar is determined to remove his sins and wants to get back in the UFC for one more time to claim his dominance before hanging up his boots. Hence, rumors suggest he might not renew his contract with WWE after it gets expired next year to join UFC, full-time.

WWE to bring back Lashley

For a long time now, WWE is interested in bringing names from TNA to restructure the main event picture. So, they are pursuing the multiple time TNA champion Lashley to get on board. However, he’s been the top guy in the TNA roster from beginning. So, it is still doubtful if he will agree to sign with WWE or not. Apart from Lashley, WWE is also trying to bring Eli Drake from TNA franchise.

 

Bayley to break Charlotte’s PPV streak

From now onwards Charlotte PPV winning streak will play a pivotal role in her career. As per the rumors, this will help to build up a big Women’s championship match at Wrestlemania 33 with a streak stipulation added to it. Bayley is finalized to challenge Charlotte in the match for her title. She will win at the grandest stage of them all breaking the undefeated streak. This will also hand her the first ever Women’s championship.

 

Slammy awards schedule for next year

We were quite surprised to see that the Slammy awards were canceled for this year. The show was bound to pull up some ratings for Raw programming. However, it is not withdrawn entirely and will take place, next year. As part of their restructured programming, WWE is willing to host the event as a separate show. It will be a WWE Network exclusive just days prior to Wrestlemania 33, as per the rumors.
