Brock Lesnar may be facing an upcoming powerhouse performer as well as an established top star at WrestleMania 37 after his return to WWE. On today's edition of top RAW Rumors that could have a major impact, we will talk about who these men are and what could be in store for The Beast Incarnate's return to the ring. Apart from that, we will also take a look at the return plans for a 12-time Champion on RAW and Roman Reigns' possible WrestleMania opponent, among other interesting topics.
So without any further ado, let us dive in and take a look at the big RAW rumours that could have a major impact in the coming time:
#5 Brock Lesnar to face RAW Superstars Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee
WrestleVotes has revealed that one of the big matches being planned for WrestleMania 37 right now is a triple threat match between former NXT Champion and current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar and RAW Superstar Keith Lee.
WM: Source stressed nothing is close to official or concrete, but as a working idea the following is what’s being considered: Reigns vs Goldberg, Edge vs Orton & an interesting twist: McIntyre vs Lesnar vs Keith Lee. Lots of variables in play, especially the attendance factor.
Brock Lesnar was last seen in action at WrestleMania 36 in a match against Drew McIntyre. The Beast Incarnate lost his WWE Championship to RAW Superstar Drew McIntyre in under five minutes at the show.
It is possible that WWE do not want to have a rematch of WrestleMania 36 at next year's PPV and have thus decided to put former NXT Champion Keith Lee in the match as well. Facing two of the biggest Superstars in WWE would certainly help The Limitless Keith Lee establish his dominance on Monday Night RAW in the future.
#4 Roman Reigns to face RAW Superstar Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania?
Speaking about Drew McIntyre's WrestleMania plans, it is possible that the RAW Superstar will take on The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns at the show. As per the Wrestling Observer, the frontrunners to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania right now are Daniel Bryan and Drew McIntyre.
Here is what Cagesideseats stated:
They also say that despite all the talk, Daniel Bryan and Drew McIntyre are the current frontrunners to be Reigns’ opponent at WrestleMania 37 next year.
The WWE Champion Drew McIntyre faced Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Survivor Series this year. The two men tore the house down but it was SmackDown's Roman Reigns who got the better of RAW's Drew McIntyre in the end.
However, the intensity of the match and the chemistry of the two men led to fans demanding a rematch between the two top Champions. Although there wasn't a lot of build towards their first encounter, a match at WrestleMania would surely be something the fans would love to see booked.
#3 Return plans for RAW Superstar Charlotte Flair
It had been reported recently that RAW Superstar Charlotte Flair would be teaming up with her real-life partner Andrade after her return. The idea was to help elevate Andrade using Flair's star power.
However, as per a report from ITRWrestling there is no plan for a partnership between The Queen and Andrade on RAW. In fact, they state that such an idea was never even pitched.
The plans for the return of Charlotte Flair are already locked in. Sources say The Queen insisted long-term plans were laid out before she returned to TV and it seems as though she has gotten her wish.
Charlotte Flair is a 12-time Women's Champion in WWE and her return would give a huge boost to the RAW Women's division which is lacking big names as of now.
Since the plans for a pairing with Andrade are not in the works, it will be interesting to see how WWE book Andrade after he went undrafted this year. Some rumours had suggested that El Idolo might be heading back to NXT.
#4 Is Vince McMahon unhappy with RAW Superstar Keith Lee?
As reported earlier, Vince McMahon had ordered some of the 'big men' in WWE to go back to the Performance Center and train to become better. One of the names in that list of Superstars was RAW Superstar Keith Lee.
Keith Lee has been touted as one of the best in-ring competitors by fans and critics so it came as a surprise when Keith Lee was not able to impress Vince McMahon with his in-ring work.
As per Dave Meltzer of WOR, Vince McMahon is not angry with Keith Lee and sending him back to the PC is not a demotion. In fact, McMahon understands how talented Lee is but is not confident of his current abilities.
Talking specifically about RAW Superstar Keith Lee, Meltzer reported that Vince McMahon thinks he's not ready but understands the talent he possesses. Keith Lee and the other Superstars mentioned will undergo training sessions with WWE producer Adam Pearce and Drew Gulak. (H/t: SportsKeeda)
Other Superstars who have been sent back to the PC by Vince McMahon include Otis and Dio Maddin among others.
#1 Vince McMahon's honest opinion of RAW Superstar Riddle
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that contrary to popular belief, Vince McMahon actually likes Riddle. He further stated that McMahon finds the RAW Superstar 'very funny' and even though he doesn't fully understand Riddle's character, he enjoys it.
Meltzer noted that McMahon really likes Riddle and thinks The Original Bro is "very funny in his own weird way." He added that although McMahon doesn't understand Riddle's gimmick which is inspired by Sean Penn's character in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, he really likes Riddle's character and thinks its unique and funny. (H/t: WrestlingInc)
He further added that Vince McMahon doesn't understand the 'bro' lingo but is quite high on Riddle and wants to keep him on TV. This could be the reason behind Riddle's recent push on RAW as the Original Bro continues to feud with Bobby Lashley for the US Championship.
Do you think Riddle is hilarious in his backstage segments or would you prefer him to be a serious competitor? Let us know in the comments.
