The WWE is truly an everlasting soap opera for fans of professional wrestling, and the company continues to change with the times -- this includes the storylines, feuds, wrestlers among countless other aspects of the business.
While Vince McMahon and creative tend to have the major aspects of every calendar year "mapped out" when it comes to which Superstars will shine the brightest and headline the key pay-per-views, as many in the business will attest to, absolutely nothing is guaranteed.
Storylines and feuds are subject to change at any given moment, and due to the nature of sports entertainment, wrestler injuries are fairly frequent or common, hence why the WWE always has that "back up plan".
Vince is continuously trying to supply his undying fans with exciting television every Monday and Tuesday, and he's undoubtedly making sure to spice things up when feuds or storylines become rather dry.
As we are sure many of you are well aware, there are tons of WWE rumours currently circulating around, and despite the fact the second biggest pay-per-view of the year (SummerSlam) has concluded, WWE is now focused on the remainder of the year and especially, the "Super Show-Down" hailing from Australia in October.
Some of the rumors featured on the list may end up coming to fruition, where as others may quite simply be wishful thinking -- or the opposite in some cases... Today, we are going to be looking at 5 WWE rumors you need to know right now.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
#5 Jason Jordan's Career In The Ring May Be Over...
When you think of WWE Superstars who were burdened with injuries at the worst possible time, Kurt Angle's kayfabe son Jason Jordan unquestionably comes to mind. While Jason did not get off to a great start in WWE as a solo act, Jordan was definitely beginning to pick up some real main event caliber momentum before his unfortunately timed neck injury sent the up and comer to the sidelines.
Although the first reports indicated that Jason would be out of action for a number of months, fairly recently, it became evident through various sources that Jordan's injury is far worse than expected.
In fact, there is actually a saddening possibility that Jason Jordan's in-ring days are over -- the WWE have been scrambling to find work for Jason to do during his extended leave from the ring and for potentially a permanent retirement. As of late, Jason Jordan has been shadowing producers backstage in WWE, and Jordan has actually produced one match thus far -- Peyton Royce vs. Naomi on SmackDown Live a few nights ago...
#4 Brock Lesnar Not Done With WWE Yet...
Although many fans were relieved when Brock Lesnar's lengthy run as the WWE Universal Champion came to a halting end at SummerSlam, do not jump to the conclusion that we have seen the last of Lesnar in WWE.
Brock Lesnar is currently focused on his upcoming fight in the UFC against the company's respective Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier, and the anticipated bout is likely to occur in early 2019 -- January has been rumored.
While some sources alluded to the fact that Brock's relationship with the WWE (and Vince McMahon specifically) was beginning to wear thin towards the end of Lesnar's Universal Championship reign, if there's one thing Vince will always be open to, it's big business.
Whether you love or hate "The Beast Incarnate", Brock Lesnar is still a very large draw, and McMahon would definitely be open to bringing Brock back for another big WrestleMania match. With the money WWE typically offers "The Beast", it's highly doubtful that Lesnar would turn the company down for another match or two.
#3 AJ Lee May Be Returning To WWE For Evolution Pay Per View...
Despite the fact that AJ Lee spent her years in WWE well before the "Women's Revolution" ever came to be, without question, AJ is one of the most popular women's wrestlers in WWE history -- a Superstar many fans have been dying to see return to the squared circle.
While there has been some talk in the past about WWE attempting to bring the former Divas Champion back to the company, this past week, rumors broke out that this may in fact be happening sooner rather than later.
According to The Ring Report, Vince McMahon has been attempting to reach out to the immensely popular AJ Lee for a potential return to the company for their scheduled all-women's pay-per-view "Evolution" which is happening in October.
If these rumors prove to be correct, it's still unknown up to this point who AJ Lee would be facing, but it's doubtful she would be involved in any title matches -- Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella is one of the rumored title matches and main events. Regardless, AJ Lee would undoubtedly be welcomed back to the WWE with a warm reception from fans if she does decide to return...
#2 Rey Mysterio Reportedly Set To Return To WWE In September...
Despite the fact that Rey Mysterio is slightly past his peak in the business at 43 years of age, it's evident that Rey still has plenty of years left in the tank. While Rey Mysterio had returned to the WWE at the Royal Rumble this year with a very warm reception from fans, his return was unfortunately only a one-off appearance -- many fans were left very disappointed.
However, do not fret, as rumors suggest Rey Mysterio has already signed a full-time 2 year deal with the WWE as of this summer, and the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion is reportedly set to return in September sometime.
According to various sources, Rey Mysterio still has a few obligations to other wrestling companies (some of Rey's previous wrestling bookings), and he is simply fulfilling his scheduled appearances -- Rey Mysterio will be at the All-In pay-per-view September 1st.
Rey Mysterio is undoubtedly a worthy acquisition for WWE, as the legendary wrestler looks better than ever and has many potential worthy feuds on Raw or SmackDown Live.
#1 Kurt Angle Training For Return And Has Aspirations Of Becoming World Champion Again...
While many fans believed Kurt Angle's days in the squared circle were over following his induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2017, "The Olympic Gold Medalist" has clearly proven us all wrong with his multiple in-ring appearances.
However, though Kurt has wrestled a couple matches since his WWE return, current rumours suggest the reasoning behind Angle's "vacation" from Monday Night Raw's General Manager position stems from the fact that Kurt is training for yet another in-ring return sometime in October -- and not just for one match either.
Despite the fact that it's pretty unlikely Kurt Angle would be working a full-time schedule in WWE, the general consensus is that Kurt would be working more matches than he has thus far.
On top of all this news, following a Facebook Q&A recently, Kurt Angle shocked the wrestling world by stating that he desires to be the WWE World Champion once again -- Kurt stated that he's healthy and up for the challenge. Knowing the WWE's (and Vince McMahon's style), it would not be very surprising if the company offered Kurt Angle one last title run -- they did it for Goldberg, so it's not impossible by any stretch...
