Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Update On WWE’s New Brand Plans
A few weeks ago, a rumor came out that WWE is considering creating a new brand that focuses on Lucha Libre. According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this has been discussed but it isn’t expected to happen for a while still.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
In hearing from people in WWE regarding talks of all of these shows the response is people have heard vague stuff about it months ago, like an idea that’s been talked about. With COVID, these expansions, which were not coming all that quickly to begin with, are probably even farther off
My Take:
- I am fine with WWE waiting until 2022 for a Lucha Libre brand. It doesn’t seem like something that they need to rush.
4) 3-Way Tie For The Men’s Royal Rumble Betting Favorite
According to BetOnline, there are 3 Superstars tied as the favorites to win the men’s Royal Rumble match. Those three names are Big E, Edge, and Goldberg.
Here are the top 5 betting favorites at the moment:
— Big E – 3/1
— Edge – 3/1
— Goldberg – 3/1
— Brock Lesnar – 5/1
— Keith Lee – 5/1
My Take:
- I don’t see Big E winning after he just became the new Intercontinental Champion. I really don’t know who is going to win this year. It seems very wide open.
