WWE Rumor Roundup: Popular Superstar to turn heel; CM Punk drops big hint about FOX move, and more - 28th October 2019
We are just days away from Crown Jewel, WWE's second Saudi Arabia PPV of 2019, and this week's RAW will be the go-home show for the PPV.
In today's rumor roundup, we take a look at a popular Superstar turning heel, a WWE personnel returning to live shows, as well as a big hint that CM Punk could return to WWE television.
Let's take a look at all these rumors in today's WWE rumor roumdup:
#1 Vince McMahon to turn Kofi Kingston and Big E heel
Kofi Kingston lost his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar a few weeks ago, in a shocking manner, defeated in just a few seconds by The Beast. Kingston has since returned to tag team wrestling, teaming up with his New Day brothers.
Many fans were disappointed with the way Kingston lost the title, and are also sad that he is no longer a singles star.
But, we could see the former WWE Champion's character on the Blue brand change very soon, according to Tom Colohue. Kofi could possibly turn heel as WWE slowly changes his character to a dark one.
Paul Davis of Wrestlingnews.co is also reporting about both Big E and Kofi turning heel, with Vince McMahon keen on changing things up with The New Day. Xavier Woods suffered an injury recently, which will keep him out of the ring for a long time.
On the Crown Jewel go-home show of SmackDown, Big E and Kofi Kingston lost in a tag team match to Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, with Kingston pinned.
Kofi and Big E will be in a nine-team tag team turmoil match at Crown Jewel, with the winner awarded the WWE World Cup for being the best tag team in the world.
