#5. Title change could happen before WrestleMania
Andrade is currently out of action, serving a 30-day suspension for violating WWE's Wellness policy, and the Superstar is being advertised to return at the Super ShowDown PPV.
There have been many questions raised regarding Andrade's US title reign and why WWE didn't take the title off him when the news of his suspension first came to light.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated now reports that Andrade's days as the United States Champion are numbered. This means that he could end up dropping the title before the Show of Shows.
“From everything I have been told by contacts within WWE, the recently suspended Andrade’s days as the United States champion are numbered. (His 30-day wellness policy suspension expires on Feb. 27.) A hair-vs.-mask match against Rey Mysterio would have been special, but the more pressing question is whether he will even make it to WrestleMania as the United States champion.”
#4. WWE really wanted only Jeff Hardy to return to the company
With Matt Hardy's contract situation being the biggest talking point of the week, there has also been a lot of talk about Jeff Hardy's future.
WWE Insider Tom Colohue revealed in the new Dropkick DiSKussions podcast episode that when the WWE brought back The Hardy Boyz years ago, they really wanted only Jeff while Matt was just seen as a chaperone.
The company never wanted to work with the Broken Universe - which they were forced to eventually - and the idea was to always give Jeff Hardy a healthy push as they saw him as a more valuable asset than Matt.
However, history repeated itself and Jeff landed in legal issues outside the company.
Regarding his return, Tom explained that he expects to see Jeff back and get pushed by the company as well.
Here's what Tom had to say:
When they brought him and Matt back, the idea for the tag team was that they didn’t want to just bring Jeff back but Jeff was the one they really wanted. They really didn’t want to bother with the Broken Universe, even though they were eventually into it, they really didn’t fancy that. They wanted Jeff Hardy and they brought Matt Hardy to be sort of a chaperone, the idea being that with Matt there, Jeff’s more wild impulses will be a bit more tempered. That has not proven to be the case.
It will be interesting now because to my knowledge, Jeff Hardy will happily return, and once he is fit and ready to go, we will see him again and there would be storylines and there would be death-defying stunts.I think Jeff will be someone we will be seeing again soon, but when I talk about history repeating itself, Jeff gets a solo push, and then he goes and finds Matt. That’s how it has always been.
He goes so long without his brother and then he misses his brother and I can’t blame him for that. I don’t think those two men will finish their wrestling careers with the WWE, but I do think they are surefire Hall of Famers in the future.
