WWE Top 5 Rumors of the Week and Analysis: 3 May, 2015

For some reason or the other, the rumor mill was a bit on the slow side this week. Despite the pace, there was enough speculation out there worthy of making it into the weekly list of top rumors.Daniel Bryan, for the third week in a row, has made headlines mainly due to the injury and as each week pass by, it is getting worse for him. Other wrestling promotions finding their foot in the business proved to be another major rumor from the past seven days as WWE is clearly feeling the heat.Last but not least, the WWE Universe is in for a big surprise at SummerSlam. So cutting the suspense, here is a look at the top five rumors of the week and their analysis. 

#5 New competition for WWE?

For the ones who still have no idea about what Global Force Wrestling is, it is a new promotion started by Jeff Jarrett (the same guy that came up with TNA). Jarrett jumped into the venture back in time of WrestleMania 30, but a lot of problems kept him from making any big movements in the industry.

This, however, changed last week as Jarrett is out there scouting talent. Some of the names linked with the promotion are Eric Bischoff (the guy who almost ran WWE out of business, in case you forgot), Team 3D, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Masters, and Jim Cornett. A lot of TNA stars are also expected to jump the ships soon.

While GFW is growing up to be a competition for WWE, TNA has strengthened their arsenal by recruiting lead television writer Billy Corgan. Along with this, Dixie Carter is keeping a close relationship with Steve Austin. Things are not looking good for WWE at the moment and we might get to see the competition gather strength in the coming months.
