3) Rusev To Become A Free Agent Soon?
Over the weekend, Rusev changed his bio on Twitter to “soon to be free agent”. This has led to the obvious speculation that his WWE contract will be coming to an end soon.
Here is a screenshot:
It should be noted that Rusev has now removed this from his Twitter bio.
My Take:
- I don’t see Rusev leaving. I think that he is just trolling fans and maybe even trolling WWE to try and get a better deal. With Lana signing a new long-term deal with WWE, I would be surprised if Rusev does leave but we will have to wait and see.
2) The Plans For Seth Rollins’ Storyline
On RAW this week, Buddy Murphy joined up with Seth Rollins and The AOP. They now have a numbers advantage against Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and The Big Show.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rey Mysterio is expected to join this storyline soon. He started a feud with Seth recently but he has also been dealing with Andrade. Once he is finished feuding with Andrade, Mysterio is expected to help even the odds against Seth’s new crew.
Meltzer also says that The Big Show was not originally expected to be involved in this storyline for the long-term. It will be interesting to see if WWE keeps him on television over the next several weeks or replaces him.
My Take:
- If it was me, I would replace the Big Show with Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo. That would give us Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio, and Humberto Carrillo vs Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy, and The AOP. Or, the babyface team could also recruit Aleister Black, who has had beef with Murphy for a while now.
