Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week - 5th March, 2018
Ronda Rousey is finally here, John Cena needs a path to WrestleMania and the Cruiserweights are putting on consistently superb matches on a weekly basis. What do these things have in common? Well, they're the subject of some of this week's Top 5 rumors of course!
Before we get into it though, let's take a look at last week's Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week - 26th February, 2018. One of those rumors, John Cena being part of Fastlane actually came true whilst some of the others like Bobby Lashley and Jeff Hardy returning are yet to come to fruition.
So, what's going on in this week's rumor mill? Well, let's start with the one thing that's had everyone talking over the last week or so.
#5. Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania
Rey Mysterio has been the subject of a lot of WWE news and speculation over the last week after Justin Barasso from Sport Illustrated claimed that Mysterio was backstage at SmackDown Live to discuss a WrestleMania match, with John Cena lined up as the favourite opponent for the luchador.
This was later contradicted by several other reports, although the actual truth still remains incredibly unclear, even Rey Mysterio's friends aren't certain, and it seems he was, at the very least, supposed to be backstage at SmackDown.
Adding more fuel to the fire is the fact that he has recently been pulled from an indie wrestling event he was due to take part in during WrestleMania weekend, although a recent injury may have scuppered any 'Mania plans the WWE actually had in mind for the show.
