Top 5 WWE Rumors Of The Week - January 1st, 2018

It's been a great 2017 and we want to thank you for spending it with us. The Christmas Day edition of Monday Nigh RAW saw some big surprises but with WrestleMania on the horizon it's all go and no stopping in the WWE Universe.

The last week of the year was much like the rest of 2017 because it was full of plenty of action, rumours, and innuendo. Now let's take a look back at the final week of 2017 to see what kind of things were churning around the rumour mill.

1: John Cena's WrestleMania Opponent

Everyone is looking at WrestleMania 34 at this point and many are wondering how WWE will stack the card for the Show Of Shows in New Orleans. After all, WrestleMania XXX was in the same building only four years ago and ended with Daniel Bryan winning WWE's top prize so they need to do something epic to try and match that WrestleMania moment.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE sources have indicated John Cena's opponent for Mania won't be AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. In fact, he's been told Cena's match will be bigger than the WWE Championship.

There are only a handful of names that could fit the bill of being bigger than a championship match including Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Batista, and The Undertaker. Therefore, only time will tell just how epic of an encounter is in store for Big Match John on April 8th.
