Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) New Women’s Royal Rumble Favorite
We noted last week that Sasha Banks was the early betting favorite to win the 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble match. This has now changed after Sasha Banks won the Smackdown Women’s Championship.
According to SkyBet, Rhea Ripley is the new favorite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble match. She is currently listed at 7 to 1 odds to win. For those wondering, Ronda Rousey is currently in second.
My Take:
- I would love to see Rhea win the Rumble. In my opinion, she is ready for the main roster and it is time to call her up.
4) Update On Invasion Angles During Survivor Series
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that we might not see any invasion angles for Survivor Series until the very last minute.
This is because WWE wants to keep the RAW and Smackdown rosters separate due to COVID-19. Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to Ringside News for the quote below):
“If you noticed RAW and SmackDown haven’t even been sending people yet because they wanna keep those separate because if something happens they only want one brand infected. If you build it up the way it was last year where they had people from all three shows that she says that if someone is infected from the Performance Center it’s going to spread to all three rosters because if something happens they only want one brand infected.”
My Take:
- This would actually make a lot of sense if this happens and it seems like the smartest thing to do. I do love the invasion angles as they are always a lot of fun. While saying that, the health and safety of the performers is the biggest priority.
