3) The Upcoming Plans For Seth Rollins
We noted in a previous rumor round-up that WWE was advertising Seth Rollins vs Erick Rowan for some upcoming live events. This was a potential hint that WWE was planning a feud between them.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer says that as of this week, the idea is to put Rowan and Rollins together in a program on RAW.

Meltzer also noted that WWE asked Lawler to make a change to his commentary. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
