5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Unexpected Superstar to get top babyface push, Backstage concern on SmackDown due to Reigns storyline

#3. Hope is true: 3 more RAW superstars being allowed to cut non-scripted promos

Paul Heyman's influence is being felt

Whether it's due to Paul Heyman or not, WWE is definitely trying something new. One of the biggest criticisms has been the fact that over the last 5-6 years, WWE has been extremely stringent on scripted promos.

This has resulted in a lot of characters and Superstars being held back, but lately, WWE has been giving a bit more leeway to Superstars in that regard. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, 3 WWE superstars were allowed to cut non-scripted promos this week - Sasha Banks, Bayley and Rey Mysterio. He said:

Bayley, Banks and Mysterio’s promos on RAW were all done without being scripted word-for-word, basically the old bullet points style and going for it. There is a movement to try and do more of that going forward, similar to the leeway that Owens (and I believe Bryan but that hasn’t been told to me directly) get on SmackDown and why his promos, if not both of theirs, come off better than almost anyone

Note how he also said that WWE is trying to do the same going forward with other Superstars. We hope this is true because it'll result in an infinitely better product.
