6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: 3-time World Champion possibly retiring at WrestleMania 36, Returning star expected to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble

#4. Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon's condition to Tyson Fury for a return

Tyson Fury may not be happy about this

There has been a lot of rumors floating about with regards to Tyson Fury. The first of which stated that he could be Brock Lesnar's potential opponent at WrestleMania 36. Tom Colohue denied these reports, stating the plan isn't for him to face Lesnar right now. There is a plan potentially in the works to have him team up with Braun Strowman to protect him as he's still very green.

ever, this isn't about that report. It's about a separate one by WrestleVotes - stating that McMahon has a condition before talks with Tyson Fury. Those talks could only begin around February 23rd. Why that specific date? It's because Tyson Fury has a rematch with Boxing Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder on February 22nd. Their last bout was a controversial draw (where most believe Fury won) and WrestleVotes reported that Vince McMahon will only begin talks with Fury if he beats Wilder.

Lots of speculation regarding Tyson Fury & WrestleMania. Source said his fight at MGM Grand vs. Deontay Wilder on February 22 is crucial to him appearing in Tampa. If Wilder wins, Vince isn’t throwing $$ at a guy who just lost on PPV. So to a degree, the ball is in Fury’s court.

We hope this isn't true because WWE brought in Mike Tyson in 1998 when he was coming off a loss. Fury is still a charismatic personality and win or lose, he would do well in the ring. Alex McCarthy confirmed the report by WrestleVotes, stating that he was told the same in December:

This is very much true.Because I was told the same thing in December: https://t.co/o5GSrPMbEM https://t.co/J5v7Npr2QV
