Another week of main roster television is in the books, and there are plenty of questions that need answering. Just what is going on with Daniel Bryan? How long is Roman Reigns going to feud with Jinder Mahal? Read our rumour round-up to find out.
#1 Rumour Killer on Daniel Bryan’s status with WWE
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Daniel Bryan’s WWE contract is due at the end of the year, and a number of fans are worried that the former ROH standout may not renew his deal. A lot of this scepticism came to the fore after Bryan suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Rusev on the most recent episode of SmackDown Live.
Trending
However, Bryan Alvarez assuaged some of these concerns, stating that Bryan was in the middle of a slow build to a world title program. Alvarez also stated that the former World Champion would remain with WWE even after his current contract. (H/T: Ringside News)
“He ain’t leaving. You guys watch the show? He lost and then for two minutes they showed him sitting on the apron looking very disappointed in himself. There’s a story being told here. The story is he has a long journey to work his way back to the WWE Title. That’s the story they’re telling so chill out and let’s see how it goes. It’s okay to lose once in a while.”
#2 Will the New Day split if Big E gets a singles push?
Vince McMahon and Triple H have always been fans of Big E, and it looks like the New Day’s powerhouse maybe on the brink of a singles push which could start at Money in the Bank, according to a report from Cageside Seats.
If Big E were to receive a big singles push, he’d probably have to split from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
#3 Does WWE have big plans for Mandy Rose?
On the latest episode of SmackDown Live, Mandy Rose debuted a brand new entrance which caught on with the fans. The former Absolution member even defeated Becky Lynch — the inaugural SmackDown Live Women’s Champion — to qualify for the Money in the Bank match.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that WWE had big plans in place for Rose. (H/T: Ringside news)
“Obviously they have big plans for Many Rose. They gave her a nice new ring entrance, they think she’s a star. I think she’s a star too. Maybe it’s early, maybe it’s not but she’s got a good look. So there you go, they see something in her.”
#4 Update on Neville’s contract
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Neville has moved back to the UK and is no longer living in the United States. However, there are no further updates on the former Cruiserweight Champion as his contract remains frozen, and he cannot perform for any independent promotions
#5 Reigns could feud with Jinder Mahal for a long time
A report from Cageside Seats suggests that Roman Reigns’ program with Jinder Mahal may not end anytime soon. The Big Dog is scheduled to work Live Events with Mahal through July. Unfortunately, Reigns probably won't get a better opponent until Summerslam.
