Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Men’s Royal Rumble Match Favorites
According to Bovada, Big E and Edge are the two betting favorites to win the 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match. Here are the top 4 favorites:
— Big E +500
— Edge +500
— Keith Lee +800
–Brock Lesnar +800
My Take:
- Big E has been my pick for a while. I want to see him against Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 37. We will have to wait and see if WWE pulls the trigger on that though.
4) Original Plans For Chelsea Green
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE was planning to copy a storyline from 2005-2006 with Chelsea Green. This would have been similar to Mickie James’ “obsessed fan” storyline with Trish Stratus. This time, it would be Chelsea who is obsessed with Mickie James.
Mickie and Chelsea even shot some content for this angle but it didn’t end up airing. Here is what Sapp wrote:
We’ve been digging even more about Chelsea Green and her not being used prior to her ill-fated Smackdown debut, and a pitch that was going around about her. Originally, a big push was made and plans were put in order for Chelsea Green to almost emulate Mickie James’ 2005-2006 “obsessed fan” storyline with Trish Stratus. The story had a pretty solid plan and we’re told that several in creative were very excited about it, but it inexplicably got scrapped. The story that we’ve heard would have had Mickie James put in Trish Stratus’ shoes from 15 years ago.
It went a lot further than a pitch. We’re told that Mickie James and Chelsea Green had actually filmed content to start the angle. Everything was a go, and plans were abruptly changed only hours before it was set to air. Green didn’t appear on TV for months after.
My Take:
- I feel like that would have been better than Chelsea doing nothing on TV for several months. I don’t know though.
