5 WWE rumors from this week you need to know (April 21st, 2019)

Everyone loves a good rumour, right? Something to talk about with other people over a water cooler.

In WWE, everything moves so fast. Not just the Superstars in the ring, but also all the latest news and rumours that reach the public every single day.

With WrestleMania and the Superstar Shake-up behind us, the Superstars of RAW and SmackDown will now look ahead to the Money in the Bank pay per view.

Here are five rumours from wrestling this week that you really need to know.

Note: Please remember that every rumour presented here is just that, a rumour, something to have fun with. Whilst some may seem more likely than others, please take all of them with a grain of salt.

5: Samoa Joe RAW-bound

Joe captured the US Title in March this year and succesfully defended the gold at WrestleMania, crushing Rey Mysterio.

The 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up is now behind us but the fallout has left many fans reeling.

In a draft that saw huge stars such as Roman Reigns and AJ Styles jump ship, one moment of note saw Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor be drafted to SmackDown, whilst US Champion Samoa Joe remained on the blue brand.

According to the PW Insider though, Joe missed being drafted to RAW due to an unspecified illness, and is expected to make his presence felt on the red brand this week.

This definitely make more sense than having both mid-card titles on the same brand, leaving RAW without any.

We don't know who Joe will feud with first if he joins Monday Night RAW, but there's no shortage of stars who will be hoping to relieve him of the star-spangled strap.

4: Tag Titles in NXT?

The Australian tag team captured the titles at WrestleMania 35.

At Elimination Chamber 2019, the WWE introduced the new Women's Tag Team Championships, as the latest part of their Women's Revolution.

Since then, just two teams have held the coveted titles, the Boss & Hug Connection, who won the titles inside the satanic structure, and the IIconics, who captured the gold at WrestleMania 35.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are plans for the titles not only to be defended on RAW and SmackDown Live, but also in NXT.

If true, this will be a great opportunity for the women of the developmental brand, which contains stars such as Bianca Belair, Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir, Io Shirai and Shayna Baszler.

A shocking title change could also be an effective way to call a team up to the main roster, making them huge stars overnight.

3: The Good Brothers no longer?

Will Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson leave WWE after their contracts expire this year?

When Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows debuted in WWE in 2016, fans were rightly hyped.

Part of the infamous Bullet Club, the pair quickly gained popularity in WWE, teaming with fellow BC-alum AJ Styles and Finn Balor.

However, after losing the RAW Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 33, the pair have quickly fallen down the ranks of the tag division, as rumors have circulated that the pair will choose to leave the company this year.

Pro Wrestling Insider has noted that the pair have been planning to leave once their three-year contracts expire this year for a while, and have remained steadfast on this course of action.

Though Styles recently announced he had signed a new contract with WWE, it seems unlikely that Gallows and Anderson will join the Phenomenal One.

2: Bayley move a long-time coming

Bayley, Ember Moon, and Kairi Sane all joined SmackDown Live as part of the shakeup.

In the past few weeks, there have been fewer stars more discussed amongst wrestling fans than Sasha Banks.

After reportedly threatening to quit the company due to booking disagreements, Banks has become a hot topic, as well as her tag team partner Bayley.

Moving to SmackDown Live as part of the Superstar Shake-up, fans have wondered whether this is due to Banks' frustrations backstage.

However, there have been plans to move the Huggable one to the blue brand for quite some time, according to a report by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Though she did hold the RAW Women's Championship, it has been several years since the Huggable one held singles gold in WWE.

Hopefully, a move to SmackDown will do wonders for the career of one of WWE's most naturally liked babyfaces.

1: An offer he couldn't refuse

The Undertaker will remain part of WWE, with a very lucrative contract.

The Undertaker is regarded by many as one of the greatest Superstars in wrestling history.

Debuting at the 1990 Survivor Series, the Phenom has been a constant force in WWE, amassing millions of fans who would love to meet the former World Champion.

That may prove to be difficult though as the legendary star recently signed a new deal with the company, making future convention appearances highly unlikely.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the company made Undertaker an offer he couldn't refuse, financially speaking, to make sure he stayed with the promotion.

Though the demon of Death Valley is scheduled to make an appearance at the 'For the love of wrestling' convention on April 27-28 in Liverpool, UK, don't expect any more appearances out of character for the legendary star for a long time.
