3 Current WWE Rumors We Hope Are True And 2 We Hope Aren't

As we continue to move forward into the fall months of WWE, the rumors surrounding the rest of the year and the road to WrestleMania continue to intensify with each passing day. Nothing is for certain in WWE, and Vince McMahon is constantly making changes storyline-wise and creating new exciting possibilities every week for fans. While some believe the WWE is at an all-time low intrigue-wise (based on the low Raw and SmackDown ratings recently), there is still plenty to be excited about right now.

The WWE's big Australia Super Show-Down is occurring this Sunday on the 6th, and their Crown Jewel pay-per-view which hails from Saudi Arabia is set to go down in early November -- the 2nd to be exact. To add to things, the 1000th edition of SmackDown Live is also right around the corner, and we have already been confirmed of a Dave Bautista return so far -- The Rock is also rumoured...

There are many current rumors surrounding these three monumental shows, and as you may have expected, we are already beginning to hear of the latest rumors and possibilities regarding the Royal Rumble and of course, WrestleMania 35. As always, some of these rumors are sure to excite fans, whereas a couple of them are likely not going to be well received. Today, we will take a closer look at 3 current WWE rumors we hope are true, and 2 we hope aren't.

#5 Hope Is True: Repeat Royal Rumble Winner In 2019... (Possibly The Rock)

Despite only being three days into October, we have already been blessed with many extraordinarily interesting WWE rumors. To start things off on an intriguing note, according to WrestleVotes, the current rumor or possibility surrounding the Royal Rumble in 2019 is that we will have a repeat winner next year. This rumor has undoubtedly caused a lot of excitement in the wrestling community, as there are many names fans would love to see make a comeback and head into WrestleMania with a guaranteed World Championship match.

One of the rumored names who could potentially win the Royal Rumble is none other than "The Brahma Bull" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as many believe the WWE may be building towards a Roman Reigns versus The Rock Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35.

John Cena is also a strong possibility at this point, but the WWE have expressed great interest in a Dwayne Johnson return recently, so it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if Vince McMahon was intrigued by the idea of Rock versus Roman -- it is currently projected that Reigns will have a lengthy title reign, so it is very possible that "The Big Dog" will hold onto the belt until 'Mania.

#4 Hope Is True: Shawn Michaels Returning To The Ring For Multiple Dream Matches... (Including AJ Styles)

Despite staying true to his retirement nearly a decade ago, "The Heartbreak Kid" is back to fulfill some dream matches in WWE...

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is arguably the greatest professional wrestler of all time, and while many fans were content when HBK was staying true to his retirement following his last WWE match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVI, it cannot be argued that we are all excited for the new possibilities with Shawn's impending WWE in-ring return.

Despite being 53 years of age, Shawn Michaels still looks to be in great shape based on his few WWE appearances so far this year (Shawn's bald head is definitely a shocker though), and it can be assured that Michaels has been training and working off that ring rust leading up to his in-ring return.

While it's highly probable that Shawn Michaels will be teaming up with Triple H to take on "The Brothers Of Destruction" at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia, recent rumors suggest HBK will actually be wrestling more than one solo match this year and next -- Michaels' paycheck must be quite considerable seeing Shawn had desired to remain retired.

Out of the few names rumored to face Shawn Michaels in a one-on-one match, AJ Styles and Johnny Gargano are undoubtedly some of the most appealing. Shawn Michaels' return is one of the most exciting developments in recent WWE history, without question!

#3 We Hope Isn't True: Ronda Rousey Defending Women's Championship Against Nikki Bella at Evolution...

Out of all te — Out of all the names possible to face Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship at the groundbreaking "Evolution" pay-per-view, Nikki Bella's name certainly doesn't resonate with many fans...

The WWE have been putting forth great effort the past three or so years to revitalize and change women's wrestling in the company, so it doesn't come as a big shock that Vince McMahon would introduce an all-women's pay-per-view to keep furthering the movement -- women have main evented pay-per-views in the recent past, so this development isn't too surprising.

The WWE's historic (and inaugural) Evolution PPV is scheduled to go down on October 28th, and though many fans are excited for this monumental event, at the same time, fans will likely be disappointed when they hear of the rumored main event -- Ronda Rousey defending her Raw Women's Championship against Nikki Bella.

While Nikki Bella is a great performer in her own right and a women's wrestler who helped further the division in WWE, out of all the names the company could've chosen to face Rousey, Nikki's name undoubtedly won't resonate with most fans -- Nikki has not been a huge part in the WWE Women's Revolution the past three years, as she has been absent from the company for most of it besides a few special appearances...

#2 We Hope Is True: Brie Bella Leaving WWE After Evolution PPV...

For much of the past week, the biggest story to come out of Monday Night Raw has been in regards to the botched kicks from Brie Bella to Liv Morgan which caused The Riott Squad member to suffer a concussion -- Liv Morgan was knocked out cold from the repeated botched kicks from Brie.

As most of you could have anticipated, the wrestling community didn't take very kindly to Brie's botches, and many were quick to jump on the notion that Brie should've stayed retired, or that she should leave before she injures any more Superstars -- Brie has been botching moves almost on a weekly basis since her return to WWE thus being dubbed "Botch Mode" instead of "Brie Mode" by upset fans.

Despite the fact that Brie Bella is still fresh from her return, there is a strong possibility that Brie will not be sticking with WWE on a full-time basis post the Evolution pay-per-view, and it is very likely that both Brie and Nikki will leave the company for a period of time to once again put their focus and efforts on their growing YouTube channel, as well as various business ventures.

It's unlikely the WWE have any long-term plans for Brie Bella beyond the Super Show-Down and Evolution pay-per-views, and without question, Brie is probably better off outside the squared circle....

#1 We Hope Isn't True: No Title Changes At WWE Super Show-Down...

The past year, WWE have definitely been upping their game when it comes to creating more exciting pay-per-view events for fans (as well as increasing company-wide revenue), and the Super Show-Down which hails from Melbourne, Australia is the company's latest addition to their already-stacked list of PPVs.

The WWE have done a great job at building this show up despite the extremely short notice, and fans are definitely especially invested in The Undertaker versus Triple H match which will have Kane and Shawn Michaels watching at ringside -- it is being dubbed "the final time" in HHH's and 'Taker's storied rivalry.

Although there are multiple title matches scheduled for the Super Show-Down, recent rumors suggest that there will be no title changes at the pay-per-view. For those unaware, the SmackDown Women's Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Cruiserweight Championship and WWE Championship are all set to be defended on the stacked card this Saturday.

Considering this event has been hyped up to a great extent, it will likely come as a disappointment to fans that the Super Show-Down will have similar results to an average WWE house show -- the same will probably be for the Crown Jewel event...
