8 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 8 we hope aren't: WWE 'unhappy' with 5-time World Champion, Top heel set for big face turn?

#7. Hope isn't true: Former Tag Team Champion undergoes surgery

The Monday Night Messiah faction is one that showed a lot of potential early on. Seth Rollins turned heel at the right time and aligned with The AoP to start a new group. The addition of Buddy Murphy was a decision that was highly praised, as the Australian is widely considered a superstar with immense potential.

However, the faction has suffered an early blow as Rezar of The AoP has undergone surgery for his right bicep a few weeks ago, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

The surgery means that Rezar is expected to be out for 7-8 months. While WWE could proceed with just Akam, Dave Meltzer revealed that there currently are no plans to have Akam on-screen as well.

We hope this isn't true because AoP was out for a long time in 2019 as Akam suffered an injury to the leg. It was a great spot to have and we can only hope that the group somehow continues.
