Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Another RAW Star Was Considered As Brock Lesnar’s Opponent At Wrestlemania 36
It has been confirmed that Drew McIntyre will be facing Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 36. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, there was another RAW star who was considered to face Brock at the event.
Meltzer says that Aleister Black was in the running. Here is what he said (h/t to Ringside News for the quote below):
“Aleister Black was in the running for the Lesnar match. The decision was made to go with McIntyre, and it’s probably the right decision considering it’s probably early for Aleister Black, but he was absolutely in the running for that decision.”
My Take:
- Aleister Black vs Brock Lesnar would have been another good match. Still, I am happy that they went with Drew as I think that it is his time to shine.
4) How Long The WWE Locker Room Knew About Edge’s Return
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, a lot of people in the WWE locker room knew about Edge’s return in advance.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
Many within WWE have known that Edge was set for a Royal Rumble return for several weeks. As mentioned on the air, his return was the talk of Hell in a Cell backstage, well before everything went down
My Take:
- There have been rumblings about Edge returning for a few months now, so this definitely makes sense.
