5 WWE rumors from this week you need to know (February 11th, 2019)

Everyone loves a good rumour right? Something to talk about over a water cooler. In WWE, everything moves so fast. Not just the Superstars in the ring, but all the latest news and rumors that reach the public every single day.

The Royal Rumble pay per view is now behind us, which means the road to WrestleMania 35 has officially begun. It is a road littered with plot-holes, twists and turns, as every Superstar in the WWE hopes to make an impact and get a match at the Showcase of the Immortals.

Here are five rumors from wrestling from this week that you really need to know.

Note: Please remember that every rumor presented here are just that, rumors, just to have fun with. Whilst some may seem more likely than others, please take all of them with a grain of salt.

#5 What's next for The Man?

Lynch collided with Stephanie McMahon on last week's

RAW,

and could do again this year.

At Summerslam 2018, Becky Lynch made her first step into becoming The Man, and today is the most popular act in all of WWE.

Winning the Women's Royal Rumble, Lynch is destined to face RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35, though is currently 'suspended' at the behest of the McMahons.

According to the Wrestling Observer, this recent turn against the first family of WWE may be leading to a match at Summerslam 2019, between the Lass Kicker and Stephanie McMahon.

Whilst this doesn't tell us much about what could happen between now and August, the match may never even happen, as the report says the rumored feud is "most definitely not a done deal."

Whatever happens, expect Lynch to make it work.

#4 The Undertaker's future

The Undertaker at a Live event last year, when he teamed with Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman.

The Undertaker is one of the most iconic Superstars in WWE history and it is hard to imagine him working outside the promotion. But according to recent reports from the Wrestling Observer, the Deadman may be doing just that, as it's been reported that the Phenom is charging $25,000 per hour, for public appearances.

The same report from the Observer also claims that The Undertaker is not expected to appear at the next Saudi Arabia show in May, despite working at both the Greatest Royal Rumble (defeating Rusev) and Crown Jewel, where he teamed with Kane in a losing effort to DX.

With WrestleMania 35 approaching, and still no hints about what may be in store for the Deadman, it seems this may indeed be the year that the greatest character in WWE history calls it a day.

#3 Harper back in action

Despite being an established tag-wrestler, Harper held the Intercontinental Championship in late 2014.

In the summer of last year, Luke Harper was struck down with an injury, not long after his then partner Rowan.

And whilst Rowan has recently resurfaced, returning at the Royal Rumble as the apprentice of Daniel Bryan, Harper is still nowhere to be seen. That may change soon though, as Harper is expected to return to the ring very soon, according to PWInsider.

The former Intercontinental Champion is expected back at the Performance Center in the next few days, according to the report. Whilst it would be great to see Harper back, it does make fans question what his role would be?

Will he re-join with Rowan as another disciple of Daniel Bryan's eco-war, or will he instead attempt once again to venture out on his own as a singles star.

#2 SmackDown 'lucky' for Fox deal

The blue brand will move to Fox in October this year.

One of the biggest shakeups in WWE will come this October when SmackDown will move to the Fox Network. A highly lucrative deal, this will mean the blue brand will move back to Friday nights, though there have been questions about where on Fox it would end up.

According to Bryan Alverez who spoke on Observer Live, it seems that SmackDown will end up on FS1, though the WWE should also consider themselves lucky that the deal was signed when it was.

Alverez said how the billion-dollar deal which has been etched out between WWE and the Network would never get such a high-figure deal with the show's current numbers.

No matter where SmackDown ends up, expect some huge changes to happen before the Blue brand moves to it's new home in October.

#1 The Architect in peril

Rollins is currently scheduled to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the Universal Championship.

The road to WrestleMania can be a perilous journey, and right now, no-one knows that better than Seth Rollins.

Whilst he may be the Men's Royal Rumble winner, Rollins' future at the show of shows is in jeopardy, as he has reportedly been dealing with a serious injury.

According to Dave Meltzer, Rollins has been pulled from all matches and shows for the foreseeable future, including tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW, due to a back injury.

This does throw a lot of questions up, as if Rollins isn't able to compete at Mania, and with Reigns gone for at least another year, who could take on the Beast? Perhaps Finn Balor.

Meanwhile, Rollins' WrestleMania opponent, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is (unsurprisingly) not expected to compete at either Elimination Chamber or Fastlane.
