5 WWE rumors from this week you need to know

Everyone loves a good rumor right? Something to talk about over a water cooler.

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

With WWE Crown Jewel now in the history books, the WWE are quickly building towards Survivor Series, with the men's RAW team for the 5-on-5 men's Survivor Series Elimination Match, being partly announced on this week's most recent RAW.

Here are 5 rumors from wrestling from this week that you need to know.

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

#5 RAW Men's team to be completed

According to PWInsider, the RAW Men's team will be completed in the upcoming weeks, with Hall of Famer Kurt Angle and former ECW Champion Bobby Lashley being the 4th and 5th Superstars for Team Red.

This is particularly interesting, as Angle tried and failed to get a spot on the team this week on RAW from London, England, much to the delight of nemesis and current acting RAW General Manager, Baron Corbin, who won't be competing due to his managerial role

This report from the Insider says that the team will be Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler and Kurt Angle, with Corbin being the captain, though not competing.

If true, the team is going to be absolutely stacked, with Team Raw holding plenty of accolades between them.

It's notable that in the past, the major rumor was that it was going to be team Angle Vs team Corbin, though these plans have clearly not come to fruition.

#4 Team SmackDown Superstars confirmed

More Survivor Series rumors, and this time, it's from the Superstars of SmackDown Live.

In the same report from PWInsider, the blue brand Superstars for the men's 5-on-5 elimination match has reportedly been revealed.

If this rumor is true, the November pay per view will see Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, The Miz, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan repping the blue, with SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon on the outside.

It's notable that the recently crowned Best In the World won't be competing, as he has been a member of team SmackDown both at Survivor Series 2016 and Survivor Series 2017.

If true, Survivor Series 2018 is shaping up to be an absolutely stacked roster, with World Champions galore as part of the match.

Expect details about the members of the match to be announced tonight with the first SmackDown Live of the Best In the World era.

#3 Why is a McMahon the Best In the World?

At Crown Jewel, the WWE Universe saw something they could never have expected.

After The Miz went down with an injury at the WWE World Cup finals, Shane McMahon replaced the A-Lister, upsetting RAW's Dolph Ziggler to become the best in the world.

According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live, this decision by McMahon will result in a full heel turn and will be a long-term investment for the character.

It will definitely be interesting how McMahon will work as a heel, as the former European Champion has been a consistent face since returning to WWE in early 2016.

This fully fledged heel turn may also explain why McMahon is reportedly not going to be competing for Team SmackDown in the 5-on-5 men's elimination match, as his new ego won't allow McMahon to risk injuring himself against Team Raw.

#2 The Miz to become a babyface

According to Wrestling Observer Live, the Miz may be turning face in the near future.

This face turn for the former WWE Champion was first teased at Crown Jewel, as he wanted to compete for the title of Best In the World in the finals of Crown Jewel.

Personally, I think this would be a terrible decision for the company, as The Miz has established himself as one of the most natural heels in recent memory.

This heel persona has been taken to another level over the past year, with Miz using his wife Maryse to win matches, and the pair have their own reality TV series.

Fans may remember that The Miz was a face briefly in 2013, even being handed the figure-four leglock by the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

However, the face turn was a complete bomb, and he, the Johnny Cage of the WWE, quickly returned to his dastardly routes.

#1 Saudi fans upset at missing superstars from Crown Jewel

According to the Ringside News, many Saudi fans who attended the WWE's Crown Jewel event were saddened and "felt betrayed" by John Cena choosing not to perform at the event.

Cena, who has been very much a company man, decided not to appear after there were calls to postpone or move the show following the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, allegedly on the orders of the Saudi Government.

Cena however, wasn't the only man to pull out of the event, as Daniel Bryan also refused the show, though the report did not mention how the Saudi fans felt about this.

Cena has been appearing less and less in recent months, so it's not surprising that loyal fans of his would feel betrayed after the former World Champion was advertised but didn't appear.

No amount of Bobby Lashley can quite match the Champ.
