5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know - Real reason behind RAW Reunion, Original plans for the Fiend and more (July 22nd)

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

With RAW Reunion just hours away, the company will be hoping for an epic event, en route to the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam.

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

Note: Please remember that these rumors are just that, rumors. Please take each one with a grain of salt. Though some may seem more likely than others, they are just something to have a bit of fun with.

#5 Owens going off the script

The former Universal Champion has been on fire since returning.

Ever since he returned to SmackDown Live a few weeks ago, Kevin Owens has by far been one of the blue brand's most entertaining stars. Portrayed as the voice of the people, Owens has vowed to bring an end to Shane McMahon, who has been everywhere in recent months, much to the chagrin of the fans.

Since returning, part of Owens' success has been down to his amazing promos and according to Sports Illustrated, there's a reason for this. According to one report by the website, the former Universal Champion is being allowed to cut promos without a script, a rare thing in WWE nowadays.

This has definitely paid off, as Owens continues to be one of the most popular acts on the blue brand despite not being a champion, and though he may not hold gold at the moment, it may just be a matter of time before the revamped Prizefighter enters the title picture once again.

#4 Original plans for The Fiend

Wyatt returned on last week's RAW after months away, attacking Finn Balor.

Last week on Monday Night RAW, the WWE Universe finally saw the return of Bray Wyatt, after months of promos highlighting the Eater of Worlds. Appearing on the red brand, the former WWE Champion certainly made an impression, attacking a prone Finn Balor, who had just come up short against Samoa Joe.

Though Wyatt's return was a huge surprise and arguably the biggest part of last week's show, Wyatt's return apparently wasn't the original plan.

According to WrestleVotes, the original plan was for the Eater of Worlds to return at Summerslam, though it's unclear what exactly the plan was going to be for Wyatt at the event. Regardless, this didn't take place, as the report suggested that the recent appointment of Paul Heyman as Executive Director of RAW moved Wyatt's return up the timeline.

#3 The Lex Express rides again

The company are planning a revamped Lex Express ahead of SmackDown's move to FOX.

This is by far one of the weirdest rumors from this week, but according to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is planning an "updated" version of the Lex Express in the runup to SmackDown's move to FOX later this year.

For those younger fans, the Lex Express was the tour bus of Lex Luger, which toured the United States in the summer of 1993, garnering support for the Narcissist ahead of his WWE Title match at that year's Summerslam.

What WWE means by an updated version of the Lex Express is unclear though, but it could simply mean that a bus emblazoned with SmackDown blue will be touring to promote the big swap. In this social media age, it doesn't seem like one tour bus will make that big a difference though, so only time will tell.

#2 The real reason behind the RAW Reunion

Several former Champions are expected to appear on tonight's three-hour RAW Reunion.

Later tonight, the WWE will be hosting a very special episode of Monday Night RAW. Titled RAW Reunion, tonight's show will feature a plethora of Superstars from the past, including 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, D-Generation X and the nWo.

Though tonight's show will be epic, to say the least, it isn't without its flaws, as the reported real reason behind the show isn't exactly great. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the show was "one of the least bad ideas” by the USA Network to help draw in viewers.

It's no secret that WWE's viewership hasn't exactly been great for the past year, though it has improved in recent weeks, so the company no doubt wants to have this string of success continue tonight on RAW.

#1 Hell in a Cell Pay Per View coming together

Randy Orton punished Jeff Hardy at last year's pay per view, and could do the same to Kofi Kingston this year.

Though WWE is currently gearing up for the biggest part of the summer, Summerslam, the company is already thinking ahead to September. On the 15th, the company will host Hell In A Cell in Atlanta, and the show is already coming together.

According to local advertising, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston will take on Randy Orton, though it's unclear whether the New Day star will still hold the gold by the show. On the RAW side of things, Seth Rollins is reported to take on Drew McIntyre, and this could be for the Universal title, if the Beastslayer topples Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at Summerslam.

Though these matches are always subject to change, it seems these are the feuds to look forward to in the coming weeks.
