WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Veteran banned from wrestling, Reason for Mysterio losing Championship (30th December)

#1 Future plans for Aleister Black

As previously stated, Paul Heyman is currently high on both Buddy Murphy as well as Aleister Black. The two men are set to compete on RAW this week in a rematch from their TLC contest which saw Black pick up the win.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding a possible tag team being formed with Murphy and Black, however, Meltzer explained why that is unlikely to happen:

I think the plan long-term is for Buddy Murphy to be a big heel and Aleister Black to be a big babyface. So I don’t think they are going to be in a tag team anytime soon and both be singles stars. That’s the idea, you know it will probably get, I don’t want to say probably, there is always the chance, no matter what the plan is it gets derailed. It’s pretty high percentage when it comes to new stars, things get derailed. You know, way too high a percentage. It will be interesting to see if Vince green lights it or Vince gets bored with it
