Well, we are only in the first week of December 2018, and the WWE rumour mill has been buzzing more than ever. Given we are in December and it is that time of year where WWE lays down the bread crumbs for potential matches and storylines for Royal Rumble, it leads to a lot of speculations and predictions all over social media.

On another note, the recent turn of events (for example, Braun Strowman getting injured, Daniel Bryan turning heel, the General Manager fiasco on Raw, etc) has left some answered questions.

Who will replace Strowman at TLC?

Who will be the GM of Raw after TLC?

WWE fans have been speculating the answers of many such questions.

Given there has been a lot of speculation and rumours going on lately, we take a look at 3 rumours of the first week of December that might come true.


#3 The Rock to be inducted in WWE Hall of Fame in 2019

According to Cagesideseats, The Rock is likely to get inducted in WWE Hall of Fame next year.

And the fact that WWE shifted the ceremony from Friday to Saturday in order to accommodate The Great One's schedule might mean a possible induction for The Brahma Bull.

The Rock has been a charismatic and flamboyant WWE Superstar who was a vital cog of WWE in the 'Attitude Era'. Apart from that, he is best known for his work on the microphone, and deserves to feature in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Earlier, rumours of The Rock winning the Royal Rumble to main event WrestleMania 35 against Roman Reigns were also making rounds all over the internet. However, it all came to a sudden halt after Roman's departure.

#2 Asuka to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion

Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her women's championship against Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a triple threat match at TLC.

However, according to reports of The Wrestling Observer, Becky Lynch is likely to lose her title to Asuka at TLC.

Asuka won the battle royal on SmackDown Live to earn a place in the championship match, and made it a triple threat match. This latest addition could only mean WWE crowning her as a new champion of the women's division on the blue brand.

Also, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair both are hot favourites to win the Women's Royal Rumble next year, thus this rumour might actually come true.

On another note, one should keep in mind that Lynch never got to compete in her highly anticipated match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series due to her injury, while Charlotte Flair and Rousey are not done with each other. Thus, it would be interesting to see how WWE deals with this situation. Perhaps a triple threat match at WrestleMania, who knows?

#1 Roman Reigns to feature on Tribute to the Troops

Roman Reigns has been the talk of the town ever since his heartbreaking departure from WWE. However, this time we may witness The Big Dog inside the WWE ring.

Yes, as per the reports of PW Insider, Roman Reigns was at the latest tapings of Tribute to the Troops. However, a physical altercation of any sorts seems very distant and highly unlikely. Thus, WWE could have him deliver a thank you speech just like John Cena used to do back in the day.

Given the event has always been about the battles, dedication, and hardships in the life of the troops, and with The Big Dog fighting his own battle with Leukemia, Roman Reigns seems apt to deliver a thank you speech to the troops for their dedication and hard work.

It would be interesting to see what role Roman does have on the show.
