Top five WWE rumors of the week and analysis: 18 July, 2018

Big plans for Randy Orton

Randy Orton is all set to face off against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. The USADA flagging Brock Lesnar has pushed matters into an abyss of uncertainty. But no matter what happens with Lesnar and Orton at SummerSlam, Orton is expected to make his return to the WWE programming before the match.

According to the rumors, WWE is planning to pit Orton up against AJ Styles as a returning feud. Orton vs. AJ Styles is bound to create buzz, but this happening before SummerSlam might sound like a bad decision since AJ is currently working with John Cena ahead of Battleground. But if WWE is planning this feud for this after SummerSlam, it could turn out to be good.
