WWE Rumor Roundup - Former AEW star joining, Big title change coming on SmackDown, New details on Zelina Vega's return - 15th May 2021

#1. WWE wants fresh faces on RAW

WWE is slowly settling down following a hectic WrestleMania 37, and this has historically been the time of year when company officials freshen up the product.

WrestleVotes reports that there has been backstage talk about the RAW roster needing fresh faces. Two ideas have floated around behind the scenes, and one of them is Damien Priest getting a solid push.

Another reported plan is for Aleister Black moving to RAW. WWE feels that the top half of RAW looks weak following Randy Orton and AJ Styles' shift to the tag team division.

Here's the WrestleVotes report:

There has been backstage chatter recently that the RAW roster needs some fresh faces. Two ideas I've heard talked about are Damien Priest getting a big opportunity & Aleister Black being moving over. Orton & AJ having tag team roles have left the top a bit weak.

Expect WWE to shake things up in the coming weeks. But the decision to have Aleister Black switch brands is an odd one on paper. WWE drafted the former NXT Champion to SmackDown in October 2020. The Dutch superstar is getting ready for his TV return as he has featured in a few pre-taped backstage vignettes on SmackDown to introduce his new character.

Damien Priest got the mainstream rub during his WrestleMania 37 angle with Bad Bunny. WWE officials seem impressed with the former NXT North American Champion's prospects as a potential top guy.
