5 Top WWE rumors from this week: Surprising Vince McMahon match set for WrestleMania 38, Major Roman Reigns match in jeopardy (February 26th, 2022)

#2 Edge's WrestleMania 38 opponent finalized

11-time world champion Edge made his return to Monday Night RAW last week. He delivered a chilling promo hyping up WrestleMania 38. The Rated-R Superstar then laid out an open challenge to the entire locker room to step up and face him.

During his promo, he dropped teases of facing AJ Styles, Damian Priest, and even Cody Rhodes, without specifically mentioning anyone. This led to speculation that the company is still deciding who his opponent will be.

However, Ringside News has reported that Edge's WrestleMania opponent has been "locked".

"Ringside news asked around about this report and we were told by a tenured member of the creative team that Edge’s WrestleMania opponent is “locked.” That was the strong wording given to us which indicates how firm of a booking decision that is."

Fans eagerly want to see Edge have a dream match with Styles at WrestleMania 38 and The Phenomenal One has himself stated that he wants this bout. Hopefully, we'll see AJ Styles step up and answer The Rated-R Superstar's challenge on RAW next week.

#1 Vince McMahon's perception of Cesaro as a main-eventer

One of the biggest talking points in the world of professional wrestling this past week was Cesaro reportedly parting ways with WWE and quietly leaving. Several stars have since reacted to the same on their social media and the debate of him being underutilized in the company has started once again.

According to WrestlingNews, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon never considered Cesaro to be a top guy or a main-eventer.

"Vince McMahon was never on board with pushing him as a top guy and the feeling was that he was just a “good hand” but not someone who could be seen as a main eventer," reported WrestlingNews.

The Swiss Superman did enjoy a decent push last year as he faced and defeated Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37. He then started a feud against Universal Champion Roman Reigns on SmackDown but couldn't win the title.

Where do you think will Cesaro show up next following his WWE departure?
