Everyone loves a good rumor, 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.

With WWE Fastlane now behind us, we are finally on our way to WrestleMania 35.

Already shaping up to be one of the biggest shows in Mania history, every Superstar in the WWE are hoping to be a part of it, which can lead to some very interesting leaks.

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

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


#5 Styles yet to sign

AJ Styles' career in the WWE has been much like the man himself, phenomenal.

After an incredible time in TNA and New Japan, Styles joined the WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble event, entering the match at #3.

Signing with the company for three years, Styles has held the WWE Championship twice, and is also a former United States Champion.

Despite his success though, re-signing Styles to a contract has proven to be tricky, and according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the Phenomenal One is still yet to sign a deal.

However, it has also been reported that Styles is expected to sign a deal, though many have speculated that his contract will allow him more time off, similar to the contract of Randy Orton, who appears sporadically on SmackDown Live.

#4 Will the dead rise at the biggest show of the year?

The WWE Universe are just weeks away from WrestleMania 35, and yet there has been no sign of one of the show's most legendary stars, The Undertaker.

Making his Mania debut in 1991, the Phenom has accomplished an incredible 24-2 record, making the idea of the showcase of the immortals taking place without him seemingly unthinkable.

With there being no mention of the Deadman though, many are believing his in-ring career may be over, though things seem more positive according to Wrestlevotes.

According to their reports, there have been discussions this week between The Undertaker and WWE, as the company hopes that he will at least appear at the show, if not wrestle.

Hopefully, the Phenom will give one last performance at the biggest show of the year.

#3 Prichard a big deal, despite conflicting reports

Many fans were shocked recently, when Bruce Prichard was revealed as the newest member of the WWE's creative team.

A veteran of the industry, Prichard's knowledge was instantly felt by fans, who considered his first episode back, which saw Batista return to WWE, as one of the best RAW's in years.

And though later reports said that the former Brother Love wasn't as big a deal as many were making him out to be, that is not what is being said by PW Insider.

Their report is that Prichard is still very high on the creative team's totem pole, which makes sense given his decades of experience in the business.

With Prichard at the helm, expect many more great episodes of Monday Night RAW in the coming months.

#2 Young to be removed from RAW?

When Renee Young was chosen to join the RAW commentary team last year, the Canadian made history as the first female full-time commentator in WWE.

Working alongside Corey Graves and Michael Cole, Young has been a breath of fresh air to the RAW desk, after replacing Jonathon Coachman, though not everyone is a fan.

According to a report from Rajah.com, there have been discussions backstage about removing Young from the desk, though the exact reasons why the company would make this very drastic decision remains unclear.

What we do know is that Young is married to Dean Ambrose, who is set to leave WWE after WrestleMania, though it's unlikely that this would be a factor if the company do indeed remove the Canadian from the desk.

#1 Who will leave WrestleMania as the RAW Women's Champion?

RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey has been on fire since joining WWE last year.

Right now in WWE, there is perhaps no story more compelling than that for the RAW Women's Championship.

The current champ, Ronda Rousey has been on fire since joining WWE last year, turning heel this week on RAW, against the fans.

At WrestleMania 35, she will face Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, the latter of which qualified for the match last night at Fastlane, reportedly in the show's main event.

According to the Observer Newsletter, the winner of the WrestleMania triple threat "largely depends on Rousey’s final date with the company.”

Though rumors have run rampant that the UFC star will leave the company after Mania to start a family, nothing is certain.

Either way, expect the match between these three incredible athletes to be one for the ages.
