#12 Big Show and Daivari to return soon

Big Show hasn't been in the ring since the September 4 episode of Raw. After losing to Braun Strowman in a steel cage match, he was written off the television to undergo hip surgery. As far as Ariya Daivari is concerned, he was last seen at the Greatest Royal Rumble where a couple of future Saudi wrestlers obliterated him and his elder brother.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsiderElite (via RingsideNews), both of them were backstage on this week's episode of Raw. You need not be a genius to guess that if a superstar is spotted backstage, his return is imminent.

In our previous installment, we brought the rumors that the Big Show might return at SummerSlam. While that didn't come to fruition, he might eventually show up soon at Raw. The Cruiserweight division has grown leaps and bounds since Triple H has taken the creative control of it. Ariya Daivari will be welcomed with open arms and should find a prominent role in the brand.

#11 Apollo Crews to go solo

This week on Raw, the Authors of Pain demolished Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil in a tag team match. Things are already going downhill for Titus Worldwide, and going by the recent rumors, they might eventually split.

According to wrestlingnews.co, Apollo Crews might break away from Titus O'Neil's clutches and restart as a singles wrestler. Dana Brooke is expected to be his manager and lead him to new heights.

Apollo Crews is just 30-years-old and has impressed a lot of WWE officials backstage with his athleticism. He can do wonders by going solo if given the right opportunity.

#10 Kurt Angle is written off the role of a GM so that he can wrestle full time

Kurt Angle is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest mat wrestlers pro-wrestling fans have witnessed. After re-signing with WWE in 2017, Vince McMahon announced him as the General Manager of Raw. Although being signed as a wrestler, he only makes sporadic appearances as so with his last one being at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.

But now, since he has been relieved of his duties as the General Manager momentarily, we might see him more of him in the squared circle. According to Barnburner's Fired Up Podcast (via Thomas Lowson of Sportskeeda), WWE has released him from backstage duties so that he can concentrate on his in-ring skills and work towards being a full-time wrestler.

Kurt Angle himself has said that he would like to have another run as a World Champion in the WWE. If he wants to do so, he needs to be a full-time wrestler as it is highly unlikely that WWE would repeat a championship reign akin to that of Brock Lesnar.

#9 ALL IN to have a second installment

This Saturday at the Chicago Sears Center in Illinois, professional wrestling will see a first-of-its-kind event. ALL IN, an event hosted by three of the biggest wrestlers outside WWE will unfold, and with it, the fact that WWE doesn't own professional wrestling will be proved.

Unless some grave botches occur in the show, ALL IN is bound to be a huge success. And now, a question hovers around the minds of all the fans. Will there be a part two to it? When whatculture.com asked the same, Cody hinted at it by saying “a lot has happened in the last few weeks.”

If there is a plan to have the second installment of it, Cody and the Young Bucks should announce it at the post-show conference. But, till then, all the best to Cody and his team on the new journey they have embarked.

#8 Paul Heyman to remain with WWE and have a new client

The former reigning defending undisputed WWE Universal Champion is gone. And with that, Paul Heyman is bereft of any clients. If it were any other manager, it would mean that his time with WWE is also over. But, that rule of the jungle doesn't apply to the manager of the stature of Paul Heyman.

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via wrestlingnews.co), Paul Heyman will continue with WWE, and a new client will be assigned to him soon. Ronda Rousey has publicly stated that she would like to be a Paul Heyman girl, but that might not be the case as she is a babyface and Paul Heyman works better with heels. Drew McIntyre is a viable option once he breaks his alliance with Dolph Ziggler.

#7 Asuka to turn heel

Asuka was the most dominating female wrestler in NXT and Raw as well. However, post-WrestleMania, WWE hit all the wrong notes, and Asuka's career plummeted. And now, rumors are rife that she is set to turn heel.

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via wrestlinginc.com), the current backstage plans are to turn the Empress of Tomorrow into a heel. While it may not be imminent, she could embrace her dark side anytime before the Evolution.

If Asuka does turn heel, there will be a scarcity of babyfaces in the SmackDown Women's division. Nonetheless, we wish this rumor comes true as her babyface character has run its course.

#6 WWE planning another Superstar Shakeup

Superstar Shakeup is one of the most underrated career-changing events of the year. Superstars get buried or pushed based on the new brand they are assigned. And, this year, it is safe to say that more people got buried than pushed.

However, WWE can right all the wrong by conducting another Superstar Shakeup. Joe Peiseich of No Holds Barred conjectured that it might be the case. Here is the full transcript via Ringsidenews:

“Even I have heard — November, they may do a Superstar Shakeup. Imagine AJ Styles coming to RAW.”

Like every Superstar Shakeup, this one too would bring its own atmosphere of unpredictability if it comes to fruition. Styles to Raw? Angle to SmackDown? The list goes on and on.

#5 Rey Mysterio to return after ALL IN

Rey Mysterio is one of the most respected junior heavyweights of the world. The man is a living inspiration for all the high flyers across the globe, and each of them wants to have a match against him.

But, the independent wrestlers might have to wait a little longer as according to CagesideSeats, he will return to WWE after ALL IN.

Rey Mysterio himself has said that he wants to finish his career in the WWE. We don't know if this is an indication that things are coming to an end for the luchador. If you are a huge fan of him, do check him in action at ALL IN as he partners Bandido and Fenix to take on the Young Bucks and Cody.

#4 Shield Reunion not a one-off

SummerSlam and the Raw after it was eventful to say the least. Braun Strowman's interference ensured that the main event didn't get hijacked, and the triple powerbomb the night after officially marked the return of the most dominating stable of recent times.

However, one question hovers around the minds of the fans. Is the reunion one-off? Well, according to Brad Shephard of Fired Up Podcast that isn't the case. Here is the transcript via Ringsidenews:

I can’t see this being a one-time deal. That would be ridiculous if they did that.

Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins, all have become great singles wrestler by now. Even if they have each other's back, the chances are pretty low that they would be in six-man action.

#3 AJ Styles to face Daniel Bryan somewhere down the line for WWE Championship

AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan are two of the greatest in-ring technicians WWE roster possesses as of now. They did square off against each other at the Smackdown after WrestleMania, but Nakamura and Big Cass' interference ensured that the match didn't have a conclusive ending.

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via Rajah.com), the plans are to prolong his feud with Samoa Joe so that Styles can eventually clash with Daniel Bryan for the title.

Daniel Bryan can become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship if he defeats the Miz at WWE Super Showdown. If the Phenomenal One manages to keep hold of the title until that time, they might eventually cross swords at the Survivor Series.

#2 The Rock to win the 2019 Royal Rumble

The Rock's story from hearing 'Die Rocky, Die' chants to becoming the highest earning Hollywood superstar is truly awe-inspiring. One has to agree that there isn't a bigger name than Rock whose return to the WWE sets people in euphoria. And, now he is tipped to win the Royal Rumble!

According to SkyBet (via Ringsidenews), Rock is the current favorite to win the 2019 Royal Rumble.

In one of our earlier rumor roundups, we had brought the speculations of Roman Reigns facing the Rock at WrestleMania. This rumor makes the match more certain as Roman Reigns might hold the title till 'Mania and Rock could challenge him for it at the Show of Shows.

#1 Rumored Hell In A Cell matches

WWE Hell In A Cell is one of the most extreme pay-per-views of the year. Last year, for instance, Shane McMahon dived from 20 feet across the top of the cell only for Sami Zayn to slide Kevin Owens at the last minute. It did bring back memories of the WrestleMania 32 encounter between Shane McMahon and the Undertaker.

While Shane McMahon is expected to miss this year's annual extravaganza, the rumored match card looks promising nonetheless. Here is the rumored match card according to Cagesideseats:

Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler

Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy

One ought to note that AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe and Miz and Maryse vs. Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan are already announced for the event. If these matches follow the suit, the fans in attendance will enjoy one hell of a time.
