Rumor Roundup: Why Andrade Wasn’t Drafted, Brock Lesnar Update, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) The Plans For Mickie James

Mickie James was not selected in the recent WWE Draft. According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE is planning to use Mickie on RAW moving forward.

Mickie is currently recovering from a broken nose and is expected to be out for a couple of weeks.

My Take:

  • My hopes were up for a brief Mickie run in NXT. It would have been fun to see her against names like Candice LeRae, Io Shirai, Rhea Ripley, and more.

4) Update On Brock Lesnar

Paul Heyman was recently a guest on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. During this, he provided an update on the status of Brock Lesnar.

Heyman says that Brock would return to WWE if there was a worthy challenger for him. Here is what Heyman said:

“It depends on if there’s a worthy challenger and enough box office appeal. Right now, he’s very happy being a farmer and a magnificent father to his children. However, if there’s something that WWE can offer that intrigues, motivates, or inspires Lesnar, and if the money is right and the business is solid, I’m sure he would be willing to do it. At this moment, it hasn’t happened because it [a worthy offer] isn’t there. Again, the world changes with the snap of a finger. It could be tomorrow when Lesnar says, ‘Oh, that intrigues me.’ Again, its not just a sound byte, but Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do.”

My Take:

  • Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns seems like a match that could happen at some point based on the Paul Heyman connection. I am fine with Brock being off television for now though.
