Rumor Roundup: Wrestlemania 38 Plans, Backstage Note On Sami Zayn, More

3) WWE’s Original Plan For Damian Priest

According to Scarlett Bordeaux when speaking to Signed By Superstars, she was originally planned to manage Damian Priest in WWE.

Here is what Scarlett said:

“I don’t know if you know this, but the original plan was for me to manage Damian Priest because we weren’t sure if Kross was going to be free. Then Kross got signed.

My Take:

  • I feel like Priest is good on his own but interested to see how this would have worked.

2) Possible Plans For The WWE Universal Title

According to WrestlingNews.co, Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre could potentially be happening at the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV.

Here is what the site wrote:

McIntyre is advertised to team with The New Day against The Bloodline at the house shows in January, which means that The New Day vs. The Usos feud will likely continue into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view and possibly beyond. Also, it looks like McIntyre vs. Reigns is the next big match.

Another thing worth noting is that WWE is pushing that McIntyre did not get an opportunity to challenge for the Universal Championship because he was not included in the Black Friday battle royal a couple of weeks ago.

Since Reigns vs. Lesnar is scheduled to happen again at WrestleMania, that would indicate that McIntyre vs. Reigns is probably happening at the Royal Rumble and could also mean that Reigns will retain at WWE Day 1.

My Take:

  • I feel like WWE should do Roman vs Drew at Wrestlemania. If they aren’t going to do it this year, they should save it for next year.
