Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup, where we try to bring you the biggest news and rumors from the world of WWE.

On today's edition of the roundup, we will talk about the return plans for Humberto Carrillo, Paige's response to Triple H as well as other WrestleMania plans being discussed, among other things.

So without any further ado, let us take a look at the biggest and most unmissable stories from the day:

#5 Major push being planned for Andrade and Humberto Carrillo

Andrade is currently involved in a heated feud with Rey Mysterio over the US Championship. However, as per WON, the long term plan is for Andrade to feud with Humberto Carrillo upon his return and Rey Mysterio to insert himself in the ongoing program between Seth Rollins and his faction against Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe.

Mysterio was supposed to be the third person in that feud (Owens, Joe and Seth Rollins' faction) but they are working the short-term Mysterio vs. Andrade program until they work their way out of it. Originally, and this doesn’t appear to have changed, the idea was for Andrade to have a longer very serious program over the title with Carrillo as a way to get both guys over as singles Latino stars. But now with Murphy being added to the Rollins group, they are again one short on the face side

Carrillo has been out of action ever since he was brutally attacked by Andrade last month. The former 205 Live Superstar already has multiple wins over El Idolo and it will be interesting to see how WWE book this feud upon his return.

#4 Paige finally responds to Triple H's insensitive joke

SportsKeeda's Gary Cassidy had spoken to Triple H some time back asking his opinion on the possibility of Edge and Paige returning to in-ring action. While giving a splendid answer, Triple H also made a sarcastic remark regarding Paige.

Edge has kids, Paige...probably has some she doesn't know of."

This comment did not go down well with Paige and her fans who pointed it out on Twitter. On BT Sports' media bus, Gary Cassidy got a chance to speak to Paige this time and asked the former NXT Women's Champion about her thoughts on Triple H's comments.

Here is what she had to say:

"Obviously I was a little bit perplexed, a little bit taken aback, because he's someone that I truly look up to and he's always been very respectful, so I feel like he got caught up, maybe, in a joke, that I just don't think was appropriate to joke about. I don't know, I feel like it's something that I don't need to continually keep talking about because I feel like people have done a pretty good job of that."

Paige stated that Triple H has contacted her and they we will be talking about a few things. Triple H has also made a public apology.

#3 The Revival drop another hint at joining AEW

Former Tag Team Champions The Revival recently filed for certain trademarks giving rise to speculation that they may be leaving WWE once their contracts with the company are up this year. The two have constantly teased going to AEW. Here is what a recent Tweet by Scott Dawson stated:

I’ve had many friends & fans ask me about this. I should’ve clarified, I’m taking a break from social media. I apologize for that vague tweet, but I do appreciate EVERYONE’S support. Everything I do is for my family. I only want the best for them. They’re my #1.

Reports stated The Top Guys recently filed for trademarks for #FTRKO and 'Shatter Machine'. What is truly interesting is that the lawyer that they hired to file these trademarks is the same person who works for Cody Rhodes, Jim Ross and Arn Anderson - all members of the AEW family.

There had been some reports recently that had stated WWE is confident that The Revival will re-sign with them. Now, whether all this is just a ploy by the 'Old School' team or if they are actually planning to leave WWE is something only time will confirm.

#2 WrestleMania plans for Bayley

Bayley has had a very impactful run as the SmackDown Women's Champion, becoming the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion. However, while Bayley is currently in a feud with Lacey Evans, it looks like the long-term plan is for her to face Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 36.

SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue has reported that Bayley vs Sasha Banks is a match that WWE officials have wanted to happen for a long time.

There is a disappointment among WWE management that they haven't managed to make that match happen yet. This is something they really want to see happen. This is something both women really want to see happen... and it could be sort of be a crowning achievement for Bayley, who has been up and down on the roster so far."

Tom Colohue also stated that there is also a chance that Alexa Bliss is added to the mix, making it a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania. However, the chances of her challenging for the Women's Tag Team titles along with Nikki Cross are higher.

Do you think that Bayley vs Sasha Banks will be the best possible match for the SmackDown Women's Championship? Let us know in the comments.

#1 Future plans for The Undertaker

The Undertaker has been the backbone of WWE throughout decades, and while many fans believe it is time for The Deadman to hang up his boots, apparently that is not the plans for the former WWE Champion.

SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue has reported that The Undertaker will be taking part in the next Saudi Arabia show, even though the chances of him appearing at WrestleMania 36 are bleak.

"If any of the news coming out of WWE at the moment is to be believed, The Undertaker will be appearing in Saudi Arabia next... and then after that probably appearing in Saudi Arabia"

The reason for Undertaker's absence from WrestleMania has a lot to do with his schedule, as explained by Tom Colohue.

"He has a very stringent and long term system, for exercising and working out into a peak condition for his matches. He's obviously not the youngest of men... but if he wants to deliver to the standard that he believes he is capable of... he needs to train in a certain way. If he's going to be in Saudi Arabia, he simply cannot be at WrestleMania afterwards based on that regimen."
