Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup where we bring the biggest rumors and stories from the world of WWE to you. With WrestleMania season in full swing, there is a lot of speculation on what the final card for this year's Grandest Stage of Them All is going to be.
We will take a look at what can be expected for WrestleMania 37 along with other interesting topics. This article will take a look at what the future may hold for Brock Lesnar and if he will be a part of WrestleMania this year.
So without further ado, let us dive in and take a look at the biggest stories and rumours of the day.
#5 Paul Heyman says Jimmy Uso is ready for WWE return
Paul Heyman is both co-host of Talking Smack and the Special Counsel for WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Heyman and Reigns also have Jey Uso as part of their group.
Speaking on Talking Smack, Paul Heyman told Intercontinental Champion Big E that Jey Uso's brother Jimmy Uso is ready to return and could 'look out' for him as his brother Jey Uso does for Roman Reigns:
''He’s not just Main Event Jey Uso, he’s not just the right-hand man, he’s practically a secret service agent for Roman Reigns, for The Tribal Chief, for the end-all-be-all, for The Head of the Table, for the Universal Heavyweight Champion, for the main event of WrestleMania… which is why this morning I mentioned you. If you’re tired of it, if you want to protect that Championship reign, there is more than one Uso, and services are available.”
It has been rumored that Jimmy Uso will join The Tribal Chief's stable once he returns to WWE. Given how Jey Uso has blossomed into a credible singles performer since Jimmy Uso was out with injury, it'll be interesting to see if WWE will re-unite The Usos or put them in singles action going forward.
#4 Update on Brock Lesnar's WWE return
The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE since his WrestleMania 36 loss to Drew McIntyre. Though fans have been hoping for Lesnar to be a part of WrestleMania 37, it looks like the former WWE Champion will be missing the show.
It was initially stated that Brock Lesnar would return to WWE once the crowd returns to the arena. Despite there being a live audience for WrestleMania 37, there are no plans for The Beast to make his return as per Cagesideseats:
"There’s no expectation that Brock Lesnar will return for WrestleMania 37, even though fans will be in attendance."
#3 John Cena Sr believes Vince McMahon should have fired Sasha Banks
John Cena Sr. spoke to Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade and spoke about The Boss Sasha Banks wanting to quit WWE in 2019. John Cena's father stated that if he were in Vince McMahon's shoes, he would have fired Sasha Banks:
"If she refused to do the job [lose a match] or does the job and then says, ‘I’m gonna quit,’ in the words of the great Vince McMahon, I would say, ‘You don’t have to quit, you’re fired.’"
Cena Sr. admitted that Vince McMahon was smart in giving Banks additional time off when she was unhappy in WWE as he has a good eye for talent. Banks has been dominant since her return and currently holds the SmackDown Women's Championship, which she will defend against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 37.
#2 Former WWE Champion CM Punk goes back to his old look
While CM Punk is no longer an active WWE Superstar, he still has a big fanbase eager to see him return to the ring one more time. While Punk did serve as an analyst on WWE Backstage, there is no word yet on whether he will ever return to the squared circle or not.
Interestingly, the 'Best in the World' has gone back to a look from his earlier days in wrestling, sporting long hair. While it would be too far-fetched to think that going back to his old look might signify the possibility of a return, there is no harm in hoping for it!
CM Punk's last match in WWE took place in 2014. The former WWE Champion then attempted to switch careers and become an MMA fighter in UFC.
#1 Bobby Lashley comments on how long he should be the WWE Champion
After 16 years of struggle, Bobby Lashley finally won the WWE Championship on RAW a few weeks back. While it is a historic achievement, it is speculated that Lashley will be a transitional champion for now and drop the title to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania.
While speaking to A Kinda Fun Sports Podcast, The All-Mighty stated that he wants to hold the WWE Championship for at least a year before:
"There's so many different people that you can throw right in the mix at the Heavyweight title, but right now, give me at least one solid year."
Lashley also talked about how he could have some interesting programs with Superstars such as Sheamus, AJ Styles and Randy Orton if he keeps the WWE Championship.
