WWE Top Five rumors of the week and analysis: December 5th, 2016
The rumour mill was back in action this week, while WWE was busy building up the 2016 edition of TLC. The pay-per-view turned out to be a huge success story, due to various reasons and WWE now has momentum heading to Roadblock. Despite the importance of TLC, most of the major rumours that surfaced this past week focused elsewhere.
WWE’s WrestleMania plans, the potential split of a WWE couple, WWE trying to have their own Conor McGregor and many others featured on this week’s rumour list. As usual, we are going to list down the most interesting ones and take a closer look at them.
#5 Big Show set to make his return
Big Show could make his return to the WWE programming in the coming week. The rumour was reported by Cageside Seats, and though Big Show is not bound to make an immediate impact on the ongoing storylines, his experience would come in handy for the company in the long run.
Earlier, there were rumours of a super match between Big Show and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, for WrestleMania 33, and it was also noted that Big Show could hang up his boots next year. If this is true, then returning before Royal Rumble makes perfect sense, as WWE would have time to build some momentum for him before he enters the big storyline.
