7) Kofi’s Spot In The Gauntlet Match
Kofi Kingston put on one hell of a performance in the gauntlet match on Smackdown this past week. He lasted for an hour, picking up pinfall victories over Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and Samoa Joe.
The rumor going around is that Kofi’s role in the match originally belonged to Mustafa Ali. This was prior to the injury that forced Mustafa out of the Elimination Chamber match on Sunday.
That means Ali missed out on a major moment for his career. A bummer for him.
6) Batista Is Currently In Talks With WWE
Another big rumor that is making the rounds this week has to do with Batista.
A recent report suggests that Batista is in ‘deep’ talks with WWE for a potential match at Wrestlemania 35. The report also suggested there was potential interest from All Elite Wrestling in Batista for their Double or Nothing event.
Batista has been vocal about wanting to face Triple H at Wrestlemania. This was teased on the 1000th episode of Smackdown. Maybe it ends up happening?
5) What Is Going On With Asuka?
One of the biggest questions that fans have been asking is what the hell is WWE doing with Asuka? She doesn’t have a match at the Elimination Chamber and hasn’t even appeared on Smackdown over the past few weeks.
A rumor suggests that WWE does have a plan for Asuka at Wrestlemania. She was kept off the Elimination Chamber PPV because she really didn’t have a suitable opponent from Smackdown at the event:
