WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon picks a future main-eventer, 8-time World Champion to take hiatus? (May 3rd, 2020)

#4 Huge plans for AJ Styles' return?

It is not an exaggeration to say that AJ Styles has had a strange few weeks. After he main-evented the first night of WrestleMania 36 with his memorable match against The Undertaker, it was expected that he is set for a hot run on RAW. The 'Boneyard Match' also featured Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, which implied that The OC are in line for a huge push.

Unfortunately, Anderson and Gallows were released from WWE last month as a cost-cutting measure to tackle the economic implications of Covid-19. Now that Styles is once again on his own, there have been speculations about how WWE will book his return to TV.

As reported by John Pollock of Post Wrestling, the 'Phenomenal One' could come back as a participant in the "Last Chance" Gauntlet match to determine the last entrant in the Men's Money in the Bank match. This decision was made after Apollo Crews, who had previously qualified for the MITB match, was ruled out from action after sustaining an injury during his match against Andrade.
