Rumor Roundup: Two Possible Returns At The Royal Rumble, Paul Heyman’s New Focus On RAW, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) WWE Star Not Returning Until The Summer Of 2020

According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Lars Sullivan is currently being listed by WWE internally for a return in June of 2020.

Here is what Sapp wrote about Sullivan:

Despite Lars Sullivan being seen training, he’s nowhere near a return, we’re told. Internally, he’s been listed as June 2020 as a “return” date. We’ve also heard that his recovery was going slower than originally expected, as of a few months ago.

My Take:

  • I can’t say that I have missed Lars since he has been gone. He never really did anything for me. Still, I will give him a chance when he does eventually return.

4) Paul Heyman’s New Focus On RAW

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Paul Heyman is focused on building up wins for his top Superstars on RAW, with an emphasis on putting over their finishing moves.

That is why we have been seeing so many squash matches on RAW as of late with Superstars like Erick Rowan and The Viking Raiders. Heyman wants to focus on giving them wins and putting over their finishing moves.

My Take:

  • I prefer squash matches to WWE doing a bunch of 50-50 booking, with Superstars trading wins. The problem is that we don’t need to see Rowan in squash matches for 3 months straight. They need to eventually change things up.
