WWE Rumor Roundup: The Undertaker's WrestleMania 36 opponent revealed, Vince McMahon wanted AEW star to break contract and more – 6 February 2020

In today's roundup, we take a look at the possible opponent Goldberg will be facing at WWE Super ShowDown, the top heel who has broken character to praise Roman Reigns, and the former United States champion who Carmella misses a lot.

Before we get to all that, we look at the two headline-makers that got everyone's attention. Without further ado, here is today's WWE Rumor Roundup:

The Undertaker's WrestleMania 36 opponent revealed?

Sting announced his retirement at the 2016 Hall of Fame ceremony but is believed to be keen on getting back into the ring. Rumors suggest that he was in talks to appear at WWE Super ShowDown but PWInsider report that it is not going to happen.

Now, talkSPORT's Alex McCarthy has reported that Sting could be facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania this year. He has also hinted that the match might have been pitched for the Saudi Arabian show but moved to 'Mania because of Sting's desire to work at the Show of Shows.

Sting himself confirmed to Sports Illustrated that he would be open to working with The Undertaker at WrestleMania anytime, saying: “If there was a ‘Taker situation at WrestleMania, I would listen to that phone call. I could get in condition and I could pull it off.”

Vince McMahon wanted AEW star to break contract

Chris Jericho has revealed that Vince McMahon wanted him to get out of his contract with All Elite Wrestling. The former WWE Superstar claims that he was given permission by the WWE Chairman before signing the deal but soon after that happened, Vince changed his mind.

In the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho, Jericho said:

"I'm not in AEW because I was a rebel. I'm with AEW because Vince went, 'Go.' And then, when I went, he went, 'Did you sign the contract?' I said, 'Well, yeah.' He said, 'Can you get out of it?' 'No! You told me to sign it!'" [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

When will Bobby Lashley face Brock Lesnar?

Bobby Lashley has made it clear that he only returned to WWE to have a match with Brock Lesnar. The former Intercontinental champion spoke to Sportskeeda's very own Gary Cassidy and claimed that he was open to doing any storyline as long as he got that match in the end.

Now, Tom Colohue has claimed that it might take a while before they come face-to-face. WWE did have a chance of putting the match together at the Saudi Arabia pay-per-view this month but chose to go with Ricochet instead.

Talking on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, Colohue said:

So you need Brock to be the most hateable man in company history. He needs to be more hated than Vince McMahon. He needs to be more hated than any man who has come through those doors, and in order to achieve that, we need to make sure we don’t confuse the narrative by going heel vs. heel, because who are you going to boo out of Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley?

Now is not the right time for that match. However, once Lashley is away from Lana, I think once the title is not involved, they start building Lashley as just a bonafide badass. If you do that with Lesnar, and you do that with Lashley, independently with each other, the moment when they finally come face-to-face is going to be a very big one.

Carmella misses working with former United States champion

"I miss him! We had so much more we could've done""Without @RonKillings this last year would've been so boring, he's become one of my closest friends."We want to go on record to state we also miss seeing @CarmellaWWE and R-Truth together 😭#WWEonBT pic.twitter.com/iNPfytNnW2

— WWE on BT Sport (@btsportwwe) February 5, 2020

Carmella and R-Truth were broken up in the latest WWE Draft which was not something the WWE Universe wanted to see. The two were doing great together and were highly entertaining with the 24/7 championship scene.

It looks like not just the fans, but also Carmella feels that it was not the best thing to do. She was talking to BT Sport when she revealed that she misses working with R-Truth.

"I miss him. I've been asked today a lot about, 'Are you upset that you're not with him anymore?' Of course, I'm so sad. I feel like we had so much more that we could have done. It wasn't, to me, getting old. I felt like we could have taken this and run with it for a long time."

"Without Truth, this last year would have been so boring. We were kinda just thrown together and it wasn't a thing that was ever supposed to be anything. We just had instant chemistry and connected. He became one of my closest friends and is such an amazing entertainer."

Goldberg to face SmackDown heel at Super ShowDown

Goldberg has been penciled in for a match at WWE Super ShowDown this month but his opponent has not been revealed as yet. He is set to appear on SmackDown tonight to reveal 'Who's Next' but ahead of that, Tom Colohue had some interesting things to note.

He reports that Goldberg will face a heel and not lose his match at the Saudi Arabia pay-per-view. Colohue added that there is a good chance of the challenger being one of Shinsuke Nakamura or Cesaro while the idea of Baron Corbin has also been thrown around.

There’s no chance he’s going to lose the match, which is another reason why we can eliminate The Fiend. We definitely won’t be seeing someone like Tyson Fury. So it will be a heel who can afford to take an easy loss. Corbin is definitely a possible contender. I would be leaning towards Cesaro or Shinsuke Nakamura.

I feel Sami Zayn could be bold and brash enough to come down and lay out a challenge. Corbin is another one who could be doing that. But they tend to double down with their big losses. So when someone’s on the down, they really push him down before they start to build him back up again. Nakamura had a bad week, Corbin just had a really bad week. I’m thinking a Cesaro, maybe a Corbin, but Cesaro is definitely my favourite option at this point in time.

Buddy Murphy heaps praise on Roman Reigns

Buddy Murphy

Buddy Murphy is a top heel on Monday Night RAW after joining forces with Seth Rollins. Surprisingly, he broke character in a conference call and called Roman Reigns 'the best of the best'.

Murphy had worked with Reigns while he was on SmackDown and when asked about it, he said that their match was perfect and hit the right spots. He said:

Roman’s probably the best of the best. It was awesome to kind of get in there and at that time I was on SmackDown, I wasn’t really, I was kind of thrown into the deep end, so as to speak. So I was out there to make a statement and to prove that I can go with the best.

You know, I feel on that night in Canada we made magic. It was one of those things where I couldn’t really look back at it and say I would change anything or couldn’t really critique it that much, I thought it was pretty much where we were at the time we had, it was perfect.
