5 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: WWE star not leaving until 2024, 'Significantly lower' contracts given to 4 RAW stars?

#1. Hope isn't true: Paul Heyman denied a WWE star's request to face Brock Lesnar

Every full-time WWE star has interest in working with Brock Lesnar - who is now arguably the biggest name that the company has to offer. Since he only works a few times a year, not many WWE stars get to share the ring with him.

One WWE Superstar who asked repeatedly was Kevin Owens. On Talking Smack, he revealed that he requested Paul Heyman numerous time for a match against the former WWE World Champion, but it never came to be, with Heyman simply shrugging him off:

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

"I know it [Heyman's concern about Owens] is about as sincere as you were every single time I'd go to you these past four, five years, and tell you, 'Hey, I wanna fight The Beast Incarnate.' And you'd say, 'Oh, I'll talk to him about it.' That never happened, just like you don't care what happens to me at the Royal Rumble."

We hope this isn't true because Kevin Owens vs. Brock Lesnar on a WWE pay-per-view is a dream match and a dream feud that the former has been calling for a while now.
