#1 AJ Styles is still scheduled to defend his Championship at WrestleMania 34 - SmackDown Live

The Phenomenal One's injury scare might not ruin his trip to Super Dome

Some major news broke out last week which suggested that AJ Styles was injured during a live event in MSG, sidelining him from the WrestleMania card.

The WWE Champion did make an appearance on the March 20th, 2018 edition of SmackDown Live and joined the commentary team rather than getting involved in in-ring action.

However, AJ Styles himself has put the rumours to bed when he issued a statement and asserted that he will fight Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship.

The WWE Champion said the following:

'' I tell you what, If my legs got cut off, I would find a way to make it to Wrestlemania, I will be wrestling Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlemania 34 for the WWE Championship; don't worry about it, it will be fine."

With Styles' intentions for WrestleMania clear, it seems like that the fans will be in for something special.

#2 Bray Wyatt could be repackaged - Raw

The Eater of Worlds has been deleted

The Ultimate Deletion match between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt was a 'thing of beauty' which culminated with the latter thrown into the Lake of Reincarnation.

However, the possible reason for Wyatt's deletion has been revealed. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has reported that the company could be rebooting Bray Wyatt into something completely different.

WWE also teased a character transformation for the former WWE Champion at a live event in Toronto. There's no denying that Wyatt's has been underutilized; if there's a perfect time for a reboot of his character, it is now.

#3 Braun Strowman's tag-team partner will remain a mystery - Raw

The Monster Among Men could be heading to New Orleans without a partner

The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman, was perhaps the hottest commodity in all of sports entertainment in 2017 and is continuing to elevate his credentials in 2018 too.

Currently involved in a puzzling feud with The Bar for the Raw Tag-Team Championships, Strowman will need a tag-team partner for his match at WrestleMania, as confirmed by Kurt Angle.

However, there is speculation that the WWE wouldn't be revealing Braun's potential tag-team partner until WrestleMania. Elias, Big Cass, Bobby Lashley and Sister Abigail are the rumored names doing the rounds.

#4 Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to remain fired - SmackDown Live

They are rumored to be involved in a tag team match at WrestleMania

Daniel Bryan's epic return to the ring has increased the possibility of a tag-team match at WrestleMania 34. In case you didn't know, the duo of Sami and Kevin attacked Shane O'Mac on the March 13th, 2018 edition of SmackDown Live.

Bryan fired the pair next week, after which he faced a brutal assault at the hands of Zayn and Owens. This beatdown has all but confirmed a tag-team match at WrestleMania.

The storyline involving the four Superstars has been fantastic and has catapulted Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as the top heels in the company. They recently made an unadvertised appearance at a live event in Trenton, New Jersey.

However, there is speculation that WWE could book this match as an unsanctioned match or a street fight with Owens and Zayn remaining fired until after WrestleMania, when they may get drafted to Raw.

#5 The Phenom will only return during go-home week- Raw

The Phenom will rise at WrestleMania

John Cena's determination to face The Undertaker in a dream encounter at WrestleMania has got the fans invested and has made for some great entertainment.

The Cenation Leader will square off against Kane this Monday on Raw and judging by the rumors that have been doing the rounds, there is a possibility that the Undertaker will show up.

According to Cageside Seats, the blockbuster match could be made official on the go-home episode for WrestleMania 34.

John Cena vs. the Undertaker is a match for the ages and will undoubtedly deliver, but do not expect the Phenom to show up this Monday.
