#4 Dolph Ziggler is now the third highest earning superstar in the WWE

Some major details regarding Dolph's new deal have been leaked online which suggests that the 'Show-Off' is now the third highest-earning superstar in the WWE. According to Justin Barrasso of the Sports Illustrated, this deal puts him third only to John Cena and Brock Lesnar.

Well, it's unfortunate that the superstar never got the monstrous push he deserved but looking at the details of his new deal, it seems likely that he is definitely respected behind the scenes. The superstar is one of the greatest in-ring performers of this era and has constantly elevated the standards of matches which only goes on to justify why he deserves this position.

#3 WWE has confirmed dual brand PPV's in 2018

While this rumor was in the news for a long long time but, it's safe to say now that the company has confirmed that there will be dual brand PPV's in 2018 after WrestleMania 34. This is a good decision considering the business stand-point and in-ring quality of the matches.

The ticket sales are always fundamental in the promotion of a pay-per-view and bringing in both the brands for a single PPV will be a huge boost to the ticket sales. There could be conflicting opinions regarding the endorsement of mid-card superstars considering the card will be stacked and, it would be difficult to elevate any new storylines or superstars in the process.

The PPV schedule is as follows for now:

WrestleMania 34 - April 8, 2018

WWE Backlash - May 6, 2018

WWE Money in the Bank - June 17, 2018

WWE Extreme Rules - July 15, 2018

SummerSlam - Aug. 19, 2018

WWE Hell in a Cell - Sept. 16, 2018

WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs - Oct. 21, 2018

Survivor Series - Nov. 18, 2018

WWE Clash of Champions - Dec. 16, 2018

#2 Triple H could takeover WWE soon

Vince McMahon's involvement in XFL has ignited tons of speculations regarding his role in the WWE and it seems likely that there will be some major shift in the creative aspect of the business. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the rumor is that Vince will most probably divert his attention to the XFL leaving the Game and his creative team to take full control over the company.

Well, Triple H has played a substantial role in putting NXT on the world map and, will continue to break new boundaries to change the whole landscape of the business. His inclusion could seriously change things for the better and bring some fresh storytelling on the main roster. There is no confirmation regarding this as of now but when it does, it's going to be historic.

#1 Kurt Angle and Seth Rollins could square off at WrestleMania 34

Well, let's end this article on a high note with some solid news regarding Kurt Angle's major role at WrestleMania 34. After the unfortunate injury of Jason Jordan, the fans started anticipating what could be next for Seth Rollins and it seems that we might have an answer to that now. According to the latest rumors, 'the Architect' could be squaring off against 'the Olympic Gold Medalist' at the Super Dome in New Orleans.

From a creative and business standpoint, it makes sense for these superstars to square off against each other at 'the Grandest Stage of them All' which could get the world talking. The feud could elevate Seth, back to the top position on Raw and could turn out to be a marketable genius. Imagining two generations collide at the Super Dome would be monumental, to say the least. Let's hope this happens.
