#5 Roman Reigns to face Big E at WWE WrestleMania 37?

As reported earlier, the original plan for WrestleMania was to have Roman Reigns face The Rock. However, as per WrestleTalk, that is unlikely to happen.

If The Rock is unable to wrestle at The Grandest Stage Of Them All then the company is currently planning to have either eight-time Tag Team Champion Big E or former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan take on 'The Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns at the show.

Incase The Rock isn’t able to wrestle at the show, WWE is already preparing other options to challenge Roman Reigns at the show, with sources telling us that Big E and Daniel Bryan have been discussed for the match at this admittedly very early stage.

Big E has been pegged for a major push ever since his split with The New Day. However, the former IC Champion is yet to have a breakout singles feud that could establish him as the next big Superstar in WWE.

While it is unlikely that Big E will be able to topple The Big Dog, having a main event match at WrestleMania would certify that the company is ready to make Big E a top singles star in WWE.

#4 Former WWE Champion JBL accused of being a bully backstage

Former WWE Champion JBL is one of the men who have achieved quite a lot in their life. From being a former Champion in WWE, to be a best selling author and being well-known for his philanthropic activities, JBL has proven his mettle in various fields.

However, there is one recurring black spot in JBL's life and that is the taint of being called a bully by multiple other Superstars. Now, former WWE and ECW Superstar Justin Credible came forward to tell his side.

He's a bully, you know, I think he's a really big bully. I think, back in the day, he's what the problem was with pro wrestling. Guys like him were a problem. Guys like JBL are the problem. He would bully, he would say things and do things that you couldn't get away with today. He was just a mean spirited dude and that's all I could say. He's just not a good person. (H/t: SportsKeeda)

JBL was last seen at the Undertaker's farewell at Survivor Series and will continue to be a major part of WWE.

#3 Goldberg hints at a return to WWE

Goldberg was last seen at WrestleMania 36 when he lost his WWE Universal Championship to Braun Strowman. The original match planned to take place at the show was Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg. However, due to Reigns pulling out from WrestleMania 36 at the last moment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Strowman got the opportunity of a lifetime.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Goldberg sent out a warning to 'The Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns hinting at a future match with the current Universal Champion.

"He backed out on me at WrestleMania. He stole my move, god knows how long ago. And he continues to perform it at sub-par level. Let's me perfectly honest, I'm the dude who delivers the spear and I don't think that he understands what it's like until I deliver one to him. So Roman, it's coming and I'm coming for you. I may be old, I may be gray, but I'm still Goldberg.Who's next, Roman's next!"

It will be interesting to see if WWE books a match between these two men at next year's WrestleMania or not.

#2 Goldberg reveals he is jealous of WWE icon John Cena

Goldberg is a multi-time World Champion and is considered one of the biggest stars in the world of WWE. The Hall of Famer has achieved a great deal of success and recognition throughout his career.

However, while speaking on WWE's The Bump, Goldberg revealed the one thing that he was unable to do and why that makes him jealous of former WWE Champion John Cena.

"Each and every kid that I was able to reach out to and touch during that time holds a special place in my heart. I see (John) Cena doing all these make-a-wishes and that's the only time I've been jealous of anybody in the business. Because I think he's done more than myself. And, I'm jealous in that I've never got the opportunity to do it more."

Goldberg had stated that the only reason he returned to WWE was so that his son could see him wrestle. The former WCW Champion has talked about the importance of making a difference in the lives of young children on many occasions.

#1 Vince McMahon's backstage message to WWE Superstar Keith Lee

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is known to get the best out of all his performers. While speaking to former NXT Champion Keith Lee, Vince McMahon did the same by firing up the newcomer and giving him a message to live by.

On the WWE 24 Documentary, McMahon was seen telling Keith Lee that he will need to bring in some changes in order to cater to a global audience.

"We're gonna go places but you gotta, you gotta make me believe in you. We got a whole global audience here now, it's a little bit different. Gotta make some changes and be you."

In response, Keith Lee revealed how Vince McMahon's speech fired him up and he is ready to do whatever it takes to succeed.

"Like a firework. It went from smiles, 'yeah, yeah', to, like, a coach firing you up, that's what it felt like. A football game, back when I played D line, that's what it felt like. Vince McMahon expecting me to dismantle this industry. I'm gonna fu*king do it."

Keith Lee is currently a major part of the RAW roster and has been getting a big push on the Red brand.
