4 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Real-life heat on top WWE backstage figure revealed; Big face turn being planned for 2 RAW stars?

#1. Hope is true: Backstage reaction in WWE to the Kevin Owens-Roman Reigns feud

What does the Boss think?

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens is the Universal Title feud that WWE has gone with on SmackDown, and it will likely be the final one of 2020. Roman Reigns has given SmackDown a new lease of life with his heel turn and Universal Title run. But Kevin Owens hasn't been doing too bad himself.

According to Fightful Select, WWE personnel backstage have been pleased with Kevin Owens in this feud as well as Roman Reigns' performances:

The report states that the reactions to Kevin Owens' angle with Roman Reigns have been very positive. It was additionally reported that Roman Reigns' performances after returning at SummerSlam and the execution of all the angles since his comeback have been well-received.

We hope this is true because both men deserve credit for making WWE programming better. It's a solid World Title feud to have, and there's more interest given that their 2016-17 feud saw them have a rivalry with the roles reversed. The dynamic is interesting this time around.
