Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week and Analysis: September 7, 2014

The rumor mill is back in action for the week and after a small break it was CM Punk that came under the spotlight. Night of Champions was another big headline grabber among the course of the past seven days.NXT takeover 2, being WWE’s next big Network event was causing a lot of buzz when it came to the match card and potential results. It is a big opportunity for most of the superstars down in NXT while some will find it as a transition to the main roster.New WWE champion Lesnar and his possible future opponent proved to be among the biggest surprises. As always, here is the narrowing down of the best rumors that came out this week and how these speculations could turn out if they are materialized. 

#5 Big Show will be Lesnars next opponent

One problem that WWE was going to have with Lesnar as the champion was the lack of credible opponents for the beast. Anyone who was pitted up against Lesnar would either get squashed or beaten up so that the Champion could look good.

Cena suffered the faith at SummerSlam and is preparing himself to go through the same at Night of Champions. There is not many options if Cena is taken out of the situation but someone in WWE has come out with a ridiculous idea.

And that idea is to let Big Show be the next challenger for Lesnar. it would make sense since Show is having some good momentum but the match clearly wouldn’t draw the crowd.

We already saw what Lesnar can do to Show at Royal Rumble and going in the direction again would seem repetitive.
