There's something about rumors during WrestleMania season that makes WWE so enticing to watch. It's just a period of time where everything is up in the air, and fans take to the internet to try to figure out what will happen next. Some might even try to piece together the eventual match card for WrestleMania based off this information. This process can make the journey to the show even more fun.
Whether fans end up getting it right or not doesn't matter. The point is to have a good time and look cool to your friends as you seemingly predict the future. Some rumors on the internet never come true, but these reports can give fans an idea of what to expect in the next couple of weeks.
With rumors about WrestleMania 37 running rampant throughout the internet, here are five things that fans need to know about. As always, please share your thoughts in the comments below.
#5 Cesaro might be in line for a push on WWE SmackDown
According to Wrestlinginc.com, Cesaro's contract with WWE is set to expire after WrestleMania 37, which would have made "The Swiss Cyborg" a free agent for the first time in a decade. While one might think that Cesaro, who has won several titles throughout his career, could take his talents elsewhere, that doesn't seem to be the case.
But new reports suggest that Cesaro has re-signed with WWE, so he's set to remain with the company. Other rumors state that Cesaro was in line for the spotlight that Shinsuke Nakamura received in the gauntlet match earlier this year. But WWE chose Nakamura instead due to Cesaro's contract situation.
But the former WWE United States Champion has been on a roll. Cesaro has picked up impressive wins over Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler in recent weeks. As a result, it feels like he is heading for an upward swing. WWE might opt to reward Cesaro for his loyalty by giving him a push on the road to WrestleMania.
Otherwise, why would WWE keep pushing him this way? More often than not, there's a method to the madness of WWE programming. It wouldn't make sense for WWE to give Cesaro these notable wins for no reason. As a result, Cesaro is a Superstar to watch in the coming weeks.
#4 WWE wants several legends to appear
WWE is under the belief that they will need to feature veteran talent at WrestleMania 37 in order to have a successful show. But it's unclear how this belief could play out. While a lot of the details are unknown at this time, an exclusive report by SK Wrestling claims that there will be several veterans on the card.
These includes names like Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, and possibly Goldberg. Unfortunately for fans of these legends, none of these names are locked in right now. Of course, the card is always subject to change. But WWE seemingly wants to have a legends theme for WrestleMania this year.
WWE could honestly land in hot water if the idea backfires. The company's tendency to rely on legends often upsets some fans. But a nostalgic WrestleMania sounds like a potentially brilliant concept. If some of these veterans are able to step between the ropes for one more match, WrestleMania could truly be "The Showcase of the Immortals."
#3 WWE might have Finn Balor compete at WrestleMania 37
Finn Balor sent shockwaves through WWE two years ago when he returned to NXT. While some fans thought the move was just temporary, it turned out to be a lengthy change of scenery. NXT is technically considered as a main roster brand now now. But Balor's move to the show was still surprising given how long he had been on RAW and SmackDown.
Keep in mind that Balor beat Seth Rollins to win the Universal Championship at SummerSlam in 2016. But he was forced to surrender it 24 hours later due to a shoulder injury. Since that time, WWE has been skeptical at best about putting any kind of title on Balor.
That seems like one reason why Balor returned to NXT after a brief feud with The Fiend. But he has thrived on NXT, as he is the face of the brand. Balor is currently the reigning NXT Champion.
It is now being reported that WWE is in talks about having Finn Balor compete at this year's WrestleMania. Although there has been no official word on his involvement, the company reportedly wants the NXT Championship to be defended at the show. As a result, Balor could make his return to "The Super Bowl of Sports Entertainment" this year.
#2 WWE might be planning a Firefly Fun House Match with Randy Orton
According to Cagesideseats.com, WWE supposedly wants to hold off on another match between Randy Orton and The Fiend until WrestleMania 37. The report also states that the company wants to do a Firefly Fun House Match at the show. This stipulation could make the culmination of this rivalry even more dynamic.
This could be WWE's best chance to explain how Randy Orton created The Fiend character. The Firefly Fun House Match could also showcase a different side of Orton's personality as well. In fact, the company did such a good job with the stipulation last year that the sky is the limit for the sequel.
In all honesty, these kind of gimmick matches are always bogged down by some kind of negativity. But passionate fans of The Fiend typically enjoy them. Again, it will be interesting to see what WWE does with this match, but the possibilities are endless.
#1 WWE hasn't decided on a winner for Edge versus Roman Reigns
It's no secret that WWE is hinting at booking Edge versus Roman Reigns for the main event of WrestleMania 37. But who will win this blockbuster dream match? Believe it or not, the company reportedly doesn't know who the victor will be. That rumor is very surprising, given how impressive Reigns has been in recent months.
Of course, there is an argument to be made that Edge's underdog story should lead to a win over Reigns at WrestleMania. But what would that loss do to Reigns as a character? What would it mean for the heel run that has taken him to new heights?
In the end, Edge winning would be a great way for the legend to come full circle in his WWE career. But this storybook ending would come at the expense of Reigns' momentum. Maybe the company can find a way to protect Reigns in defeat and give Edge the win he deserved almost a decade ago. Either way, it'll be fascinating to see how this feud plays out.
