5 WWE Rumors that shouldn't come true

Being a WWE fan can be boring at times. We aren't living in the Attitude Era nor the Ruthless Aggression Era and thus, miss terrific in-ring action and surreal promos. However, what quenches our thirst are the rumors.

In our previous installment of the pessimistic rumors, we successfully brought you the rumors that Aleister Black would miss NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV and John Cena and Undertaker are not going to be a part of the SummerSlam match card. While we bring you another installment of some enervating rumors, we hope that they remain so and doesn't come to fruition.

Without any further ado, here are 5 WWE rumors that shouldn't come true.

#5 Tye Dillinger is legitimately injured

Tye Dillinger is one of the most underrated wrestlers in the SmackDown locker room. So, it won't be a surprise if a lot of people aren't a fan of 'Perfect 10.' For those who have witnessed his NXT run, we have some bad news as the recent rumor suggests that he might be legitimately injured.

In his match against Shelton Benjamin, he went to the turnbuckle only for the Gold Standard to knee him straight into the face. As a result, Dillinger fell to the floor and was unable to get up according to wrestlinginc.com. The referee threw in the dreaded 'X' symbol indicating a legit injury, and Shelton Benjamin was declared the winner via count out. WWE trainers came out and helped Dillinger to walk back to the locker room after that.

Whenever a wrestler suffers an injury midway through the match, the finish is improvised. However, in this case, Tye Dillinger was unable to get up and do the needful.

This incident is a reminder to all the fans that pro-wrestling is quite dangerous. Shelton Benjamin has kneed countless opponents' face while they were in the top rope. However, a mistake in a live event might have taken away years of career from Tye Dillinger.

The company hasn't released a statement regarding Dillinger's condition. Nonetheless, we wish him a speedy recovery.

#4 Sin Cara is legitimately injured

Sin Cara was one of the most hyped wrestlers when he had boarded the ship to the WWE. Initially, WWE gave a lot of TV time to the character. But, since the departure of the original Sin Cara, the character has gone downhill.

According to wrestlezone.com's Instagram account, Sin Cara is currently in Birmingham. In case you don't know, Birmingham is the place where a lot of WWE wrestlers like Dean Ambrose, Finn Balor, and Seth Rollins go if they require surgery. And going by the doctor emojis, he might be needing one too.

The new Sin Cara doesn't have the mystique and charisma of the original one. Nonetheless, we wish him a speedy recovery.

#3 Ricochet is still suffering from injury

At the WWE Europe tour in June, Ricochet suffered an injury while missing a dive in the Paris live event. Triple H dismissed it as a tweak, but going by the recent rumors, he hasn't recovered fully also.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (H/T: Cagesideseats.com), Ricochet is still dealing with the injury. WWE hasn't pulled him out of the TakeOver like Aleister Black, but we can't help but ponder upon the severity of the incident.

Ricochet was one of the hottest properties of the independent circuit before he made his way to the WWE. He has earned the respect of the WWE Universe despite being only five months with them. Being a fan favorite or not, the doctors will not allow you to wrestle without proper scrutinization. If the WWE has cleared him, it means that the injury isn't extremely grave. Nonetheless, we fear that he might aggravate the injury as he follows the high-flying style of wrestling.

#2 Bray Wyatt to change his entrance music

Bray Wyatt's initial character was one of the eeriest and scariest ones since the creation of the Undertaker. Much of that had to do with his spine-chilling promos and entrance where the audience would turn on their flashlight while he would make his way to the ring. But, since the Superstar Shakeup last year, things have gone downhill for the Eater of the Worlds.

And going by the recent tweets of the superstar, a new entrance theme might be in store for him. One also ought to note that Matt Hardy is hinting towards his retirement by his tweets. And if that comes into fruition, Bray Wyatt's solo run is imminent.

Something new is coming....My thoughts unfiltered...I need a badass band to make a badass introLookin at you,@TheOfficialA7X @parkwayofficial @AmigoTheDevil @fhnixon

The author believes that a change in music will halt him down. Remember, if it weren't for his entrance song and the spooky promos, he might have never got the opportunity to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania. If he changes his entrance, a part of the persona dies with it. It would be better if the creative resorts back to his previous song.

#1 Roman Reigns to squash Brock Lesnar clean at SummerSlam

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns was the least intriguing match going into WrestleMania, and if we had known that there was going to be a part three to it, we would have changed our allegiance. Not only did it happen but Paul Heyman's involvement ensures us that something out of the ordinary is going to happen this Sunday.

But, according to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the match could be a short one. And, Alex McCarthy of givemesport.com further elucidates that Roman Reigns would squash the Beast Incarnate at SummerSlam.

The logic behind it is clear. If the match duration exceeds anything more than ten minutes, the crowd would be the first one to hijack the match. So, WWE has to take the shorter path. And, if it's a shorter one, it virtually becomes a squash match. Under normal circumstances, Brock Lesnar should be the one squashing opponents left, right, and center. But, as he is departing to the UFC, WWE would gain nothing by doing so. So, the only viable option remaining is Roman Reigns squashing Brock Lesnar unless WWE wants to have the fifth meeting between them.

Barring Kurt Angle's interference, this is the last thing which I wanted to see in this feud. Considering all the possibilities, it would be better if Paul Heyman costs Brock Lesnar the title at SummerSlam and aligns with the Big Dog.
