Apparently some big angle is being planned for the trio to make their return but they barely made it to the rumors mills this week.A lot of speculations that came after the New Year concentrated on the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania that rather than what WWE was planning to do with the fired trio.Apart from the usual suspects, Jerry Lawler’s demotion to the SmackDown brand kicked off another wild rumor which might turn out to be true. All these rants might or might not turn into fruition once the time goes by, but before all that, here is a summary of the best rumors and their potential impact. 

#5 Renee Young to replace Jerry Lawler

WWE recently announced a permanent change to their announce team when they demoted Jerry Lawler to SmackDown. The company apparently wants to take Jerry off the live television as they don’t want to repeat the heart attack incident one again.

And since the company could not do it in one go, they decided to demote him first and take the process slow. When it comes to Jerry’s replacement, the current name is Booker T but he could only be a temporary arrangement.

Renee Young is the favorite to take Jerry’s chair and since she has been doing some great work down in NXT, it would only be fitting to give her a chance in the bigger stage.
