#5 Kurt Angle training for an in-ring return?

The Olympic Gold Medalist might be returning to the ring soon

Kurt Angle was given a vacation from being Raw's General Manager by WWE Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon this week on Raw. However, rumours suggest WWE might have huge plans for Kurt Angle.

PW Insider reports Kurt Angle is handed vacation as he might be returning to in-ring action soon. It is still not known whether Kurt will return whether he will return as a part-time or full-time schedule. However, Bodyslam reports it might be full-time.

Kurt Angle was considered one of the best wrestlers of the past decade. He still hasn't declined in the ring and performs to his best. Whether he wrestles at full-time or a part-timer, he will always be loved by the fans. The fans would also love to see Angle win the World Title one last time in his career. Let us see how WWE books him if he returns to the ring.

#4 Brock Lesnar still not done with WWE

The Beast might be back to break more

Brock Lesnar recently lost the Universal Championship to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. Brock was also scheduled to appear on Raw this week, but he didn't show up as usual. Many fans thought that he is done with WWE now, but that might not be the case.

As per PW Insider, Brock Lesnar is preparing for his UFC fight in 2019, but he still associated with WWE and a door to return back to the squared circle is still open. Lesnar was never planned to appear on Raw too despite advertising to the contrary. Their sources told them if something had been needed, they’d have asked Paul Heyman to do an in-ring promo.

Many WWE fans were tired of Brock Lesnar working a part-time schedule. His Universal Title reign was boring and one of the worst reigns in WWE history. However, Brock without the title would not be that boring. There are also many dream matches left for him in WWE and if WWE books them, the fans might again start to like Brock Lesnar.

#3 Two huge rumours regarding Ronda Rousey

Are these two not facing each other at WrestleMania 35?

There are two shocking rumours about Ronda Rousey.

Cageside Seats suggests that WWE might turn friends into enemies. WWE plans Natalya vs. Ronda Rousey for the future, likely sooner rather than later. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests Rousey might not wrestle Charlotte at WrestleMania 35 though it is one of the ideas WWE is currently considering. The match is not a 100% lock but the idea is certainly on the boards. WWE is also considering a number of other ideas.

Ronda Rousey recently won the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam from Alexa Bliss with Natalya in her corner. WWE has played very well to let the fans seem Natalya and Rousey are very good friends. However, everyone knows Natalya will turn her back on Rousey in the future.

Speaking of her match with Charlotte Flair, we all know they are going to tear the house down whenever they face each other whether the stage is WrestleMania or a weekly episode of Raw or SmackDown. Considering they both are champions of their respective brands, the two might be facing each other at Survivor Series.

#2 Plans for the Shield

The trio decimated Braun Strowman on Raw

The Shield united on Raw after Braun Strowman tried to cash in his Money in The Bank contract on Roman Reigns. The trio completely decimated the Monster Among Men and showed him the justice by putting him through the table. After their recent reunion, WWE nixed the plans for heel-turn of Dean Ambrose for some time. However, what are the plans for The Shield after their recent reunion?

Cageside Sheets suggest WWE has huge plans for the Shield. WWE is considering The Shield to get the run they were supposed to have before Roman Reigns got the mumps and Dean Ambrose got injured last year.

The Shield was one of the most dominant trios WWE has ever seen when they debuted. With Reigns as Universal Champion and Seth Rollins as Intercontinental Champion, the Shield might dominate the singles and world title together. This also opens the door for Dean Ambrose's heel-turn down the road. However, before his turn, I would love to see Shield wrestling in dream matches with the likes of The Undisputed Era and SaniTy. That might be fun.

#1 Is AJ Lee going to wrestle at Evolution?

Former Divas Champion, AJ Lee

AJ Lee is undoubtedly one of the best female wrestlers to ever step foot inside the squared circle. The former two-time Divas Champion is also considered one of the main reasons of Women's Evolution. Her 295-day reign was the best Divas title reign in WWE history. Sadistically, AJ Lee decided to retire from wrestling after WrestleMania 31. However, WWE recently asked which legend they want to see return at Evolution, and the fans undoubtedly answered AJ LEE. Now it seems like WWE wants to make her return due to her fan following.

The Ring Report, Slice Wrestling and Barnburner's "Fired Up" Podcast report that WWE is reaching out to AJ Lee about a return to Evolution. When she didn't pick up the call, it is rumoured that Vince McMahon himself called her and she picked up the phone.

However, it is still not confirmed whether WWE has finished up the deal with AJ Lee. A star like AJ Lee will not only boost the ratings but will also give us a classic with future stars in WWE. The fans would love to see her fight in a WWE ring again after 4 long years. If Vince has called AJ Lee, I think WWE also knows what AJ can do at Evolution and definitely pull all the stops to bring her back to WWE.
