4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock at Survivor Series, WWE replaces Nia Jax with RAW star?

#1. Hope is true: WWE getting paid "insane" money for the egg storyline?

WWE's promotion of Red Notice, The Rock's latest Netflix film is the reason why Vince McMahon and the egg storyline took place at Survivor Series. It seemed to serve as an additional way to boost RAW ratings by advertising Mr. McMahon in one of his rarer on-screen appearances.

This past Monday, before the episode of the red brand, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported what was set to happen with the storyline:

"Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that one of the plans that afternoon involved Austin Theory in what was described as "him getting some sort of opportunity out of the angle." If you haven't enjoyed this storyline so far, take solace in the fact that the original pitch for it was "much worse" than what we ended up getting."

Ultimately, he got his report right and Austin Theory earned a WWE title opportunity against Big E despite being the culprit who stole the egg. Sean Ross Sapp added that the company was getting paid "insane" money to promote the egg as a part of the storyline at Survivor Series and RAW.

We hope this is true, as it was a clever use of the tie-up and gave a big rub to Austin Theory despite him not capturing the WWE title.
