6 backstage WWE rumors that should come true before 2018

Modified Oct 04, 2018 07:45 GMT

A potential return or a different storyline, babyface turning heel or a heel garnering support of the audience, WWE's rumor mill is filled with endless possibilities. With SmackDown 1000, Hell in a Cell and potential returns for WrestleMania all lined up, fans have all the more reasons to be excited about. While the WWE universe is filled with opinions about what should happen and what shouldn't, we are also a little sceptical about who should be holding the title and who shouldn't be main eventing this year's WrestleMania.

Let's jump right into some amazing rumors emerging from the corners of the world. Thrown out there in public courtesy the paparazzi and fans speculating storylines from who was seen backstage. We take a look at 10 backstage WWE rumors that should come true before 2018.

#1 Bray Wyatt being pushed in the singles division

Bray Wyatt is at a very crucial position of his career. So many things can go wrong after the departure of Matt Hardy and some consecutive losses from The B Team in the recent past. While it was a great idea to bring Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy together which made a very interesting duo, it went downhill in the last couple of months and right now the head of the Wyatt family is without a storyline and hasn't made an appearance on RAW, in what seems like a long time ago.

There are rumours of the Wyatt Family getting together very much like The Shield but it will be wiser for the former Champion to jump in the singles division because of how talented he is. Bray Wyatt is an amazing performer who is capable of giving great fights and given the fact that he has proved it in the past, he should be immediately pushed in the singles division as a top babyface. He has that in him, and just because there is some kind of mysticism behind his gimmick, doesn't mean he has to be a heel. Bray Wyatt could potentially feud with Dean Ambrose to knit an amazing storyline that might probably see The Wyatt Family taking on The Shield. (If Rowan and Luke are drafted back to RAW)

Dean Ambrose turning Heel

Dean Ambrose made his long-awaited return and the outcome had WWE fans cheering for the lunatic fringe in the hope that he had turned heel. Nothing of that sort has been established till now. Dean Ambrose continues to be a member of The Shield who is looking out for Roman Reigns and Seth Rollings so that both the members don't lose out on the belt. But I think it's time that Dean turned heel. Not because The Shield should be disbanded again but simply because fans will love him more that way.

AJ Lee Returns

AJ Lee was fun. She had a different kind of energy about her. According to the rumors doing round for the upcoming Evolution Pay-Per-View, AJ Lee might return to WWE. AJ Lee's return comes with so many other possibilities. AJ Lee has been a face for so many wrestlers on the main roster during her time. She has an eccentricity about her that can't be missed. WWE could add more belts to the Women's roster now that there is an all-women PPV and other wrestlers could be put into that title picture.

Kurt Angle returns to the ring

When Kurt Angle commented that he will get back with Brock Lesner on the F5 he received during a promo, I thought the stage was set for something big. But doesn't seem to be the case. He has wrestling left in him and it was seen quite evidently in last year's WrestleMania. He could possibly return to take on some other returning wrestler for a feud that just involves their names and not the title belt or anything.

Rey Mysterio's return to WWE

The sooner the better. 619 made a surprise entry in 2018's Royal Rumble but hasn't been seen inside the WWE ring ever since. Speculations are rife that he wants to end his wrestling career where he actually started and his return to WWE is almost certain. But hopefully, it should be as early as possible. Rey Mysterio has done amazing work after leaving WWE, and considering the fact that he is one of the most loved wrestlers of all time and still very much capable of giving great matches, Mysterio should come back to WWE soon and be a part of the road to WrestleMania.

Cross-Promotional Matches

I am against the idea of WWE signing every indie wrestler in the circuit. Sometimes, the prospect of watching Kenny Omega wrestling inside the WWE ring interests me but more than often, the idea of WWE not having enough space in their roster to push every wrestler up the table scares me. ALL IN is going to be great and considering WWE should think something better to challenge this surge of indie circuits, a cross-promotional PPV will serve the business. And the universe is definitely up for Kenny Omega taking on John Cena!
