Top 5 WWE Rumors of the Week - 26 February 2018

First, here's the link for the top five WWE rumors of the week - February 20th, 2018 if you aren't familiar with what happened last week.

A lot can happen in a week, especially when it comes to the WWE rumor mill which has churned out some real juicy pieces of speculation including John Cena's road to WrestleMania, Jeff Hardy's return speculation and the Iconic Duo!

#5 Jeff Hardy due back soon

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt may be engaged in 'The Great War' but Matt's brother Jeff is currently watching it from the sidelines as he recovers from injury. However, Cageside Seats have included reports of Jeff visiting his specialist in Alabama in their rumor roundup article.

This could mean that Hardy's rehabbing is going well and that the Superstar is due to return soon. Many wrestling news sites are starting to indicate that a Hardy return is imminent with many in the WWE Universe hoping he'd return at Elimination Chamber.

That didn't happen, but it does seem we might be seeing Jeff Hardy, or should I say Brother Nero, very soon.

#4 The Iconic Duo both had cosmetic surgery

There has been online chatter about Billie Kay and Peyton Royce being out of action from NXT since November because they both had a breast surgery swirling around for weeks now.

People finally started reporting on Billie Kay undergoing a procedure and that being the cause of her absence. This was made more obvious by Kay's new ring gear and WWE.com profile being changed.

Peyton Royce wasn't mentioned in the reports on other sites. However, we reported that Royce also had similar surgery which is why both women haven't been used in a while, even on house shows.

#3 Bobby Lashley returns?

Brad Shepard of BodySlam.Net reported that Bobby Lashley and WWE had agreed a deal that will see the wrestler and MMA fighter return to the WWE after a lengthy spell with Impact Wrestling.

This rumor has since been confirmed by a couple of different sources lending it a hefty amount of credibility but until it's confirmed by Lashley himself, or the WWE it's unfortunately still just a rumor.

It has subsequently been speculated that the WWE made the decision to resign Lashley when they found out that Brock Lesnar was definitely going to leave the company after his current contractual commitments were up. There you go folks, two rumors for the price of one.

#2 John Cena to be part of Fastlane

Wait a minute, John Cena was just in Elimination Chamber 'Getting These Hands' just like everyone else (apart from Roman Reigns, obviously). So what's he doing at Fastlane? Well, the 'Free Agent' is advertised for the SmackDown PPV via posters on the WWE website.

Some of the current speculations suggest that he is going to force his way into a match against Shinsuke Nakamura with the WrestleMania title shot on the line. This is, of course, all part of Cena's currently storyline that sees him desperately attempt to get to WrestleMania.

The further speculation is that the match will be made by Daniel Bryan or Shane McMahon against the other one's wishes, meaning it will also be used to further that storyline.

#1 Enzo Amore to be cut from WWE 'Undercover Boss' episode

WWE continue to erase all memory of Enzo Amore

As covered by us before, Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that former WWE Superstar and Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore was set to appear in a scene during the upcoming WWE themed episode of 'Undercover Boss'.

However, all scenes involving Amore have reportedly been cut out of the episode following the allegations of sexual assault that were raised against him way back before the RAW 25th Anniversary episode.
