#4 Former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan to join AEW at All Out?

There have been rumors circulating about former WWE champion Daniel Bryan heading to AEW for quite a while. Now, Andrew Zarion of Mat Men has noted that the belief is that multiple former WWE superstars, including Bryan Danielson and Ruby Soho, are set to join AEW at All Out.

An Andrew Zarian tweet saying All Out will have “a few surprises” led to speculation about Bryan Danielson, Ruby Soho, and others appearing at AEW’s Sept. 5 PPV. (H/T: CSS)

Recently CM Punk joined AEW and the buzz around the company has been high. It would be the perfect time for Daniel Bryan to make his AEW debut as well.

#3 Why was Brock Lesnar's SmackDown return delayed?

Brock Lesnar was expected to be at SmackDown this week after making his big return at SummerSlam. It was believed Lesnar will make his way to Smackdown to confront Roman Reigns. Unfortunately, nothing of that sort happened.

PWInsider has noted that the reason for a delay in Brock Lesnar's return to WWE TV is because Finn Balor is scheduled to be Roman Reigns' opponent for WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view next month.

Balor challenged The Tribal Chief to a match at this week's SmackDown after he crashed The Bloodline's celebration at the main event of WWE SmackDown.
