Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week - January 15th, 2018

#2 Impact Wrestling talents heading to WWE

Bobby Lashley and EC3 are just two of the many names now associated with WWE after leaving Impact

Whilst the WWE are set to announce their new intake of wrestling talent within the next week, with done deals being reported between the company and Ricochet, War Machine and Candice LeRae. Many are wondering if some of the recently released Impact Wrestling talents will be announced among them.

In fact, at the most recent round of tapings, several of Impact Wrestling's top stars departed the company, with EC3, Chris Adonis (Masters), Bobby Lashley and Laurel Van Ness all reportedly wrapping up their contracts, as well as the previously released James Storm and Rockstar Spud.

Naturally, we shouldn't be at all surprised to see any or all of these names appear in a WWE ring in the near future, especially with the heavily WWE-linked Rockstar Spud dropping hints like this.
