There's absolutely no denying that despite being one of the most stacked match-card in WrestleMania history, tons of bouts are still yet to be announced.

The Road to WrestleMania 35 has been as fantastic as it has been unsettling. WWE have done a commendable job in throwing a significant spotlight on Kofi Kingston's and Becky Lynch's journey to the very top of the industry.

Whilst Monday Night Raw has remained influential in featuring Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey in prominent positions, superstars like Drew Mcintyre and Seth Rollins are stamping their mark on this turbulent Road to The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Furthermore, Kurt Angle's farewell match has become a popular subject of debate among the internet wrestling community with many fans vehemently criticizing Baron Corbin's inclusion in what could have been a high-profile marquee encounter.

On the other side of the tracks, Kofi Kingston continues to struggle under Vince McMahon's supervision with The New Day now openly stating their displeasure with the Authority.

With WrestleMania 35 just two weeks away, will WWE be successful in getting the fans on board for such exceptional showdowns at The Show of Shows or is Vince secretly planning something for the visual extravaganza which he doesn't want us to know?

Considering that there are significant rumors of The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan returning to television for WrestleMania, would we see The Phenom lock horns in a high-profile showdown at the biggest event of the year?

Here are the 4 last-minute rumors you need to know before Raw and SmackDown Live:


#1 Baron Corbin Vs. Kurt Angle is being seriously reconsidered

After Kurt Angle announced about having a final match at this year's WrestleMania, the fans quickly jumped to social media and expressed their desire of seeing him square off against the likes of John Cena and The Undertaker.

Since Monday Night Raw was live from Chicago last week, many in the WWE Universe expect John Cena to come out and relive the 'Ruthless Aggression' moment we all so dearly miss.

Unfortunately, The Olympic Gold Medalist took the mic and vowed to settle the score with Baron Corbin once and for all at the visual extravaganza. Suddenly, the entire All State Arena went into a heartbreaking zone of silence.

Whilst it's been reported that Kurt Angle's wife was also unhappy with the announcement, the vehement backlash has now apparently coerced Vince McMahon to think otherwise.

A recent tweet from 'Wrestle Votes' confirms that WWE are reconsidering Kurt Angle's tussle with Baron Corbin and do not want to gravitate such a negative vibe for Angle's final outing in the sun.

With many wanting John Cena to finally return to the squared circle for one last bout with Angle, we have to keep our eyes open to see what happens tonight on Monday Night Raw.

#2 Vince McMahon could be planning a New Day quitting angle

In what is genuinely the greatest story heading into WrestleMania 35 this year, Vince McMahon's ego has coerced Kofi Kingston and The New Day to reconsider their future in the WWE.

Despite the fact that the popular faction expressed their displeasure to Vince's treatment in a post-match interview backstage, Big E Langston's alarming video on Twitter proves that something huge could be on the way this Tuesday on SmackDown Live.

Having been working for Vince McMahon's billion dollar company for a solid 11 years, many are comparing Kofi Kingston's blockbuster storyline with Daniel Bryan's Yes Movement back in 2014.

Considering that it is all coming full circle for 'The New' Daniel Bryan now, Vince McMahon certainly understands the power of storytelling in such an age of information.

Whilst he has constantly ascended his ego over Kofi's willingness to be WWE Champion, a solid angle could be planned where The New Day apparently opt to quit the company.

This could probably garner a lot of sympathy for Kofi Kingston and might finally push Vince to make the match the WWE Universe is so desperate for.

#3 Sting is still ready for a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania

Are you okay with this?
Are you okay with this?

The Undertaker's current WrestleMania status remains pretty unknown to all the wrestling fans of the world despite rumors of him being advertised for The Show of Shows.

It's understandable that there can be no WrestleMania without The Phenom, but this is the very first time in years that the company has not announced anything related to the former World Champion.

Amidst all the curiosity, Sting has recently stated his desire of coming out of retirement for a match with The Undertaker. Whilst he does not regret having such a short-run in the WWE, the idea of him being open to a final slug-fest with The Phenom has raised many questions.

With WWE still wanting The Undertaker to have a blockbuster showdown at The Grandest Stage of Them All, will Sting finally return to the squared circle and stand as an ideal opposition?

There's no denying that WWE have been very unofficial with The Undertaker's current status, could we see something special brewing and with just two weeks left, could we see The Phenom announce his intention to wrestle at WrestleMania? Only Monday Night Raw can tell.

#4 Dean Ambrose may not appear anymore on Monday Night Raw

A very very unfortunate news
A very very unfortunate news

Despite the rumors that surround Dean Ambrose and his contractual situation with the WWE, Cageside Seats have reported that The Lunatic Fringe may not be appearing on Raw anymore.

This definitely comes as disastrous news considering how many in the wrestling community remained optimistic on the former WWE Champion possibly resigning with the company.

Judging by this very rumor and Dean's current position on Raw, it definitely feels like he will not be renewing his contract and would probably move on from Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

The Lunatic Fringe was last seen in a blockbuster tussle with Drew Mcintyre where he suffered an unfortunate loss to The Scottish Terminator to end Monday Night Raw.

With Roman Reigns likely to accept Drew Mcintyre's challenge for WrestleMania, one wonders whether WWE would be willing to crack a deal with Ambrose or will they leave him on his own to decide his future?
