Wrestling fans love the rumors surrounding the professional wrestling industry and so do we. WWE just presented SummerSlam and NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn this week, but the rumors are again surrounding WWE.
Today, we present the top 5 rumors surrounding WWE. We talk about rumored matches taking place at SummerSlam, NXT Call-ups, Apollo Crews in for a big singles push and much more.
#5 Rowan injured at SummerSlam
The current WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Bludgeon Brothers have crushed everyone who has come in their way. The duo of Harper and Rowan has been dominant since arriving as the Bludgeons since the past year and unstoppable since winning the championships at WrestleMania.
However, there is a bad news for Bludgeon Brothers and their fans. PW Insider reports that Rowan was injured during the tag team match between The New Day and Bludgeon Brothers at SummerSlam.
WWE has announced a rematch between the two teams and they will face each other in a No DQ match. It is currently stated that Rowan has injured the bicep of his arm, so we might not see him in much of action tomorrow night. Let us see how WWE get things done tomorrow. If Rowan has suffered the injury, don't expect Bludgeons to reign much longer.
#4 Several NXT call-ups await us next week
Are we going to see several NXT stars heading to the main roster?
It is being reported by Barnburner's 'Fired Up' Podcast that WWE is planning to call-up several NXT stars next week on Raw and SmackDown Live. However, Wrestling Observer Newsletter speculates WWE is considering calling up EC3 and former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler to the main roster.
EC3 and Shayna Baszler lost their respective matches at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn. Shayna Baszler has been on NXT since the last year and might really head to the main roster after losing her title to Kairi Sane.
However, EC3 has been on NXT for only four months and lost his match to Velveteen Dream at TakeOver, so it seems unlikely for him to head to the main roster. To check if the rumors are true, we need to wait until the next week and see what happens.
#3 Apollo Crews heading towards a singles push
Apolo Crews is undoubtedly one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster and has the ability to be singles champion. However, due to poor booking decisions, Apolo Crews finds himself in Titus Worldwide and being a mere enhancement talent.
We can now say the talent man might be going in the right direction. WrestlingNews.Co states Apollo might be in line for a huge singles push in the weeks to come. It might be the thing Apollo's fans were waiting for.
WrestlingNews.Co states that Apollo Crews could be coming out the break-up angle for his partnership with Titus O’Neil that started on this week’s Raw. Dana Brooke will serve as Crews’ manager when he goes solo. Are we going to see a heel Apollo winning the Intercontinental title from Seth Rollins? Only time will tell what will happen.
#2 Asuka's big rumors
Asuka was one of the biggest stars in WWE. She was considered unstoppable and was undefeated in WWE until Charlotte Flair defeated her at WrestleMania which led the Empress of Tomorrow to nowhere. Since then, she lost to Carmella twice and was written off from SummerSlam match card.
However, two rumors surround Asuka. Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that The Empress of Tomorrow might be turning into the Villian of Tomorrow i.e. she might be turning heel in the weeks to come. The second rumor suggests Asuka might face Lita at WWE Evolution which was suggested by 24Wrestling.
Asuka hasn't done much since being on SmackDown Live and has lost all the momentum she made on Raw and NXT. Asuka is one of the most talented women on the main roster and turning her heel might lead her to be what she was in NXT. Not only that, if she is truly facing Lita at Evolution, WWE might give us the best 'Past Vs Present' match in Women's history. Take my money WWE.
#1 Hell In a Cell PPV matches confirmed?
After a great show at SummerSlam, WWE is heading towards Hell In A Cell. However, it looks like half of the match card is leaked.
Cageside Seats reports that that top matches that might be taking place at Hell In A Cell PPV are expected to be Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman, AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe, Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy.
WWE has already planted seeds for Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman tonight on Raw after The Shield attacked Braun Strowman. The match will be for the Universal Championship and might take place inside Hell In A Cell.
The rivalry between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton has already reached its boiling point. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles are far from done and Drew and Ziggler might be looking to get their revenge on Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose after the Shield Brothers defeated Ziggler twice this week.
Stay tuned to Sportskeeda and WWE for further updates.
