WWE Rumor Roundup: 2 Massive Royal Rumble surprise entrants revealed, Brock Lesnar to face old rival at WrestleMania - 20th December 2019

#2. WWE forced to change plans due to injury

Tom Colohue opened up on Seth Rollins' heel turn and alliance with The Authors of Pain on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions.

Colohue told Korey Gunz that the original plan was for Seth Rollins to take on Kevin Owens at TLC. The heel turn was supposed to happen later, possibly on the RAW after the TLC PPV.

However, WWE was forced to pull the trigger after Rollins suffered a broken finger at a live event.

“It was a little bit rushed. The injury, even if it was a small injury to Seth Rollins’ hand, did mean that he couldn’t wrestle at least for a little while, so they pulled the trigger a bit early.”

“It was supposed to be a match at TLC, it was supposed to be a heel turn in the days after, maybe on Monday night [after TLC], but they brought it ahead a little bit. I thought it still had a lot of impact, but it’s a real shame they couldn’t be on the TLC card to really follow it up.” H/t Credit: Danny Hart of Sportskeeda

#1. Backstage plans for the top feuds on RAW

WWE is building up all the storylines as we head towards the Royal Rumble and WWE Creative has reportedly chalked out an elaborate plan for RAW.

Dave Meltzer revealed a few backstage ideas for RAW in the most recent Newsletter.

The plan is to push Andrade and Humberto Carrillo, with the idea of getting over both the Superstars in a feud.

Rey Mysterio will take on Andrade as well, while also continuing his angle with Rollins and AOP.

The Beastslayer and his lackeys will continue their feud with Kevin Owens.

The ideas here is to have top guys involved in multiple programmes.

For Raw, current ideas are to push Carrillo and Andrade in a program to try and get both over, as well as Andrade with Mysterio, and Mysterio with Rollins & AOP and Rollins with Owens. It’s having top guys with two different programs instead of one.
