WWE Top 5 Rumors of the Week and Analysis : 4 August, 2016

Huge plans for WrestleMania

We moved one step closer to Backlash with the WWE programming that happened this past week. While Monday Night Raw did not have a pay-per-view to work towards, they made up the ground by crowning a new WWE Universal champion and that too, in the most unexpected fashion possible.

Monday Night Raw was clearly the winner of this week’s dog race and what happened during the show worked as a domino effect and sparked some wild rumors all over the Internet.

The return of Triple H and the crowning of Kevin Owens, as mentioned earlier, was indeed the major talking point but there were some other interesting rumors as well. Here is a list of all most talked about ones and their analysis.

Huge plans and returns in the Women’s division

Early return?

The Women’s division on Monday Night Raw is set to witness some interesting storylines. Bayley was initially brought in to be the replacement for Sasha Banks but as far as the rumors go, Sasha is expected to return soon. WWE is indeed planning a showdown between Bayley and Charlotte for Clash of Champions, but as things stand now, a title change is not at all happening. 

This adds more confusion to the whole scenario and if Sasha is indeed returning, the three-way battle between Sasha, Bayley and Charlotte would be an interesting one to watch. Elsewhere, the plans that WWE had for Charlotte vs. Dana Brooke at WrestleMania 33 is put on hold for the time being but things could change as we move forward.
