5 Backstage rumors which Vince McMahon and the WWE should make come true

Enter caption

WWE at the moment has a lot going around. Vince McMahon, the Chairman of WWE recently welcomed back old legends for the Crown Jewel PPV. Notwithstanding the controversies surrounding the show, it will be an understatement to say that Vince McMahon is not thinking of any other alternative to take the company forward.

While Triple H might be the future head of the show and still has great control over it, the reigns still lie with the man who has been running the company since time immemorial, Vince McMahon.

Today, we will dive right into the backstage arena and forecast into the biggest rumors going on there. From speculation about The Undertaker's return or the NXT invading angle, there are 10 backstage leaks Vince McMahon might be thinking about. While these leaks are nothing but news flying all around the internet, we certainly hope that WWE will make them happen. For the time being, NXT is still a developmental show.


#1 Drew McIntyre's major push

Vince McMahon tried really hard to push Drew McIntyre during the wrestler's last stint with WWE. But now the things look really different. McIntyre is fresh off in a new and more devastating look and after his successful NXT run with the company, he seems more fit than ever to compete on the biggest stages of WWE. According to rumors, Vince McMahon is eyeing a major push for the Scottish heavyweight, Drew McIntyre.

If rumors are to be believed and do come true in near future, which seems like a possibility considering the advancement happening on RAW, McIntyre might be put into the title picture sooner rather than later.

The WWE Universe can expect Reigns vs McIntyre in the near future or possibly in the Survivor Series since Crown Jewel match for the WWE Championship between Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Brock Lesner will be the last of these three competing for the belt.

McIntyre being pushed as a future headliner is certainly great for business and the audience will love it considering the amount of support that he has been garnering as a heel fighting against the fan favorite, The Shield.

#2 NXT Invasion Angle

A lot has been said and written for NXT being the main roster show instead of a developmental show as the list of wrestlers on the yellow brand are way past training days and are established wrestlers in their own areas. With that being said, a rumor that has been circulating for almost a month now is the compelling invasion angle featuring the NXT Roster and the Main Roster.

This could be a long-term storyline on the lines of Nexus invasion which could potentially work in the favor of both the shows. If the rumor does come to reality, expect a Pay-Per-View with superstars of both the shows taking on each other for a battle of brands. And this might just be better than Survivor Series or SmackDown vs RAW affairs. The Undisputed Era vs The Shield, Johny Gargano vs AJ Styles, Ricochet vs Daniel Bryan, the list is endless.

#3 Batista vs Triple H

Batista and WWE did have a lot of problems between them, but they seem settled as of now looking at Batista's promo on the SmackDown 1000 episode of RAW and particularly his very presence before all things. Batista expressed his desire to take Triple H in a WWE return and it seems like Vince McMahon fulfilled his wish. WWE SmackDown 1000 might just be the perfect tease for a Batista vs Triple H match in the coming year.

If the speculation is true, it will be interesting to see Triple H's reply to Batista's claim of never having beaten The Animal inside the ring. It will also be interesting to see two former members of probably the greatest stable of all time, Evolution, take on each other. Batista vs Triple H is a great idea and the best fit for Batista's return to WWE after his disappointing last run with the company.

#4 Signing NJPW stars

The best performing wrestling promotion outside of WWE is NJPW. And with the FOX Debut just around the corner, WWE will look to target a new fan base with their new network to increase the product further. The mastermind businessman, that Mr. McMahon is, will look to sign great indie talents to work for WWE.

WWE already has AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Ricochet, Adam Cole, Shinsuke Nakamura, and other great NJPW stars and successful independent wrestlers. With Rey Mysterio back and WWE reportedly eying The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, the future of WWE looks brighter than ever.

One waits to see how many other great indie talents WWE will be able to sign at the end of this year to potentially make a huge impact on their new network debut. Kenny Omega vs John Cena will be something to watch out for if that happens.

#5 The great WrestleMania 35 plan

There are a lot of rumors going around involving WrestleMania 35. With The Rock on the line to win the Royal Rumble 2019 and set to headline WrestleMania 35 against his cousin, Roman Reigns, rumors are rife for the WrestleMania headliner.

There is also speculation about Women's Royal Rumble headlining WrestleMania or Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair for a conclusion match in the upcoming wrestling extravaganza. Some reports are even saying Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair could happen, which might just be Rousey's first loss in WWE.

Another rumor doing round has lined up heel Dean Ambrose against Seth Rollins on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Some rumors also suggest a great Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns match. While the main event is still unknown, Vince might be already playing his cards. WrestleMania 35 is going to be grander than the last time if any of these backstage rumors is true.
