Rumor Roundup: Something Different Planned For The Royal Rumble, WWE Stars Unhappy With Survivor Series, More

3) Change To Matt Riddle’s Character

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Monday Night Live, WWE has pitched turning Matt Riddle into a more serious character moving forward.

Here is what Sapp said:

“I do know that they had pitched a more serious thing and apparently a little bit of a push, it would not surprise me to see him and on Team RAW as early as tonight even though he already lost to Sheamus – but yeah, things looking good for Matt Riddle in WWE.”

My Take:

  • I will be interested to see how Riddle does as a serious character. He does have an impressive MMA background, so it could work. We will have to wait and see.

2) WWE’s Plan For Lana

According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, Lana will eventually get some revenge on Nia Jax and put her through a table. This comes after Lana has been put through a table by Nia for the past several weeks on RAW.

Here is what the site wrote:

WrestlingNews.co reached out to a WWE source about Lana and we were told that she will eventually get back at Jax by putting her through a table. The source was adamant that Vince McMahon is not holding a grudge and there is no heat on her because of her husband signing with AEW.

My Take:

  • I definitely see Lana putting Nia and maybe even Shayna Baszler through a table. This will give her some momentum before she is on Team RAW at Survivor Series. This would make sense as they need to make Lana feel like a formidable opponent before the event.
