Everyone loves a good rumour, right? Something to talk about with other people over a water cooler.
In WWE, everything moves so fast. Not just the Superstars in the ring, but all the latest news and rumours that reach the public every single day.
With WrestleMania behind us, the men and women of RAW and SmackDown Live prepare for the Superstar shake-up in just a few days.
And after that will come Money in the Bank, where a career can change forever.
Here are five rumours from wrestling this week that you really need to know.
Note: Please remember that every rumour presented here is just that, a rumour, something to have fun with. Whilst some may seem more likely than others, please take all of them with a grain of salt.
#5: The Almighty to take time off?
On the RAW after WrestleMania 34, the WWE Universe saw the return of a huge star.
After over a decade away from the company, Bobby Lashley made his presence felt at the expense of Elias, and has been dominant ever since.
Feuding with the likes of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and most recently Finn Balor over the Intercontinental Championship, the former Army officer has done well in this recent run.
But in an interview with Sky Sports, Lashley revealed that he may take some time away from WWE, to return to the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
We should stress that Lashley said may, and nothing is set in stone.
The former champion did say if he left, it wouldn't be until after Summerslam, meaning plenty more months of the Almighty in WWE.
#4: Road-Dogg steps down
Though he may not have been a main eventer like The Rock or 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, 'Road Dogg' Jesse James was one of the most tenured stars of the Attitude Era.
With his knowledge of in-ring psychology and charisma on the mic, James has transitioned nicely to a backstage role in WWE as the head creative writer on SmackDown.
This week though, the newly-inducted Hall of Famer stepped down from his position, reportedly because he was frustrated with the long working hours and butting heads with Vince McMahon, according to the Wrestling Observer.
In a week which has seen plenty of backstage fallout (though we'll get to that later), news like this is the last thing WWE wants fans to hear.
It'll be interesting to see where SmackDown goes from here, just six months before their move to FOX.
#3: Sasha's potential departure a "big surprise"
Over the past few days, there have been few Superstars discussed more than Sasha Banks.
Though details are still unclear, Banks reportedly was not happy with WWE for booking her and Bayley to lose the Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, and after a backstage altercation, told WWE she wants out of her contact unless changes are made.
A big statement by the Boss, though it could all be for nought as Fightful have said their sources say it would be a "big surprise" if Banks was let out of her contract.
A pioneer of the Women's Revolution and 1/4 of the Four Horsewomen, WWE definitely won't be wanting to lose the former RAW Women's Champion.
And with AEW ever looming ready to pick up former WWE talent, don't expect this story to end anytime soon.
#2: Daniel Bryan injured again?
Daniel Bryan's return to the ring has been nothing short of miraculous.
After being forced to retire in early 2016, Bryan was finally able to convince WWE to let him return to the ring, and for the past year has been a huge star, as both a face and a heel.
It is with this in mind that so many fans are worried about the rumor that Bryan is once again injured.
Though the exact injury wasn't made clear on Wrestling Observer Radio, a potential injury would explain for Bryan, who lost the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35, hasn't been seen since the huge show.
Hopefully, this rumor will turn out to be false, or in the worst case, be a true injury that Bryan is able to overcome without having to hang up his boots.
#1: The superstar shakeup remains a mystery
Tomorrow night, the WWE will once again undergo a major change as the superstar shakeup returns to Monday Night RAW.
A special two-day event, the shakeup will allow Superstars from RAW and SmackDown Live to switch brands, and could lead to some highly interesting stories.
Of course, the WWE Universe don't know who will be making the big jump and according to Wrestling Observer Radio, the Superstars don't know either.
According to Meltzer, "nobody knows" anything about the shakeup right now, as the roster are being kept in the dark about who will be moving.
It's unclear why WWE would keep their own roster in the dark about something that will have lasting ramifications for their top stars.
Whatever the reason for this, expect big changes to be coming over the next couple nights.
