Dolph Ziggler – Heel Ziggler might be on his way back

The WWE Universe might be treated with a huge heel turn from Dolph Ziggler soon.

With John Cena all set to take a hiatus from the company, WWE wants a new United States Champion and Ziggler is the top contender right now. There are talks about Ziggler turning heel and winning the championship from Cena at Hell in a Cell. It would give Ziggler some reason to be happy and at the same time, will write Cena off from television properly.

Randy Orton is another name considered for the championship, but it is a long shot at this point of time. WWE is yet to announce a United States Championship match for HIAC so we never know whats in store.

#4 Rumors about John Cena\'s hiatus

John Cena

Following up to the last rumor, Cena is expected to take some quality time off television after Hell in a Cell.

Some say that it is due to personal reasons while other says that it is due to Injuries. The latest rumor that came around about his absence proved to be more interesting. He is apparently going to film a television series for FOX during his absence and although the contents of the show are yet to be revealed, it might well be a true story.

Speaking about taking breaks for non-wrestling projects, Lana is expected to take more time off for filming a new movie. WWE is going to have a tough time coping with all these absentees, which calls for other stars to step up..

#3 New superstars in the main roster and NXT

Tyler Breeze – Prince Pretty

The main roster might soon get glamorous as Tyler Breeze is set to make his debut.

He was apparently moved into the main roster quietly and the plans that WWE have for him are still cloudy. He is not expected to get a big push despite being a talented wrestler, but the initial introduction might turn out to be a great one.

Down in NXT, WWE is looking to sign up stars from Lucha Underground. The biggest priority at this moment is Prince Puma (Ricochet), who will be put into a program with Finn Balor immediately if signed. Another name on WWE’s radar is Alberto Del Rio. The former WWE World heavyweight champion is expected to make his return soon.

#2 Lana and Rusev under heat

Rusev and Lana to pay for Vince’s heat?

The career of Lana and Rusev apparently took a big blow when their engagement news dominated Social media.

The real life couple is playing polar opposites on television and Vince McMahon is not happy with the couple breaking kayfabe. The whole storyline involving Rusev and Summer Rae went pointless due to the same and though the WWE officials knew about it, Vince is furious.

Lana and Rusev are reportedly freaked out about the incident and Lana, in particular, is getting a lot of heat for initiating. If you end up seeing the couple being buried on WWE television, don’t be too surprised.

#1 Next opponent of Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins – What has WWE have in store for ‘The Architect’?

Seth Rollins will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Kane at Hell in a Cell. The program is expected to end there and Rollins is almost sure to walk out as the champion.

After Hell in a Cell, WWE is planning to pit Seth Rollins against Roman Reigns.The ‘Powerhouse’ is currently in a program with Bray Wyatt, but the feud is likely to end when they face off in a Hell in a Cell match.

Roman has been knocking at the doors of main event status for quite some time now and might get his break on the road to Survivor Series. Letting Rollins face Reigns at the pay-per-view would be a great move and if they could include Ambrose somehow, then the triple threat will sell tickets like pancakes.
