Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup, where we try and bring to you the biggest rumors and stories from the day. It has been an exciting past few weeks in WWE and the Thunderdome has certainly infused a new energy into the WWE Universe.

On today's edition, we will take a look at what the future holds for Braun Strowman, former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho comparing Roman Reigns to another former WWE Champion and much more.

We will also take a look at the cryptic message sent by high-flying Superstar Lince Dorado. So without further ado, let us jump into the biggest stories and rumors from the day:


#5 WWE Superstar Lince Dorado says ''goodbye'' on Instagram

One third of the Lucha House Party Lince Dorado recently posted a message on Instagram saying ''goodbye''. Dorado could be seen with his mask in his hand and back towards the camera.

“Wow so many people who never comment/liked on my post unless ya see something negative. Shame on you! To the true supporters, one love! Everyone else, good freaking bye!”

It is uncertain if Dorado is saying goodbye to his mask or if removing his mask is symbolic of him saying goodbye to his career. Lince Dorado has been featured prominently on SmackDown as of late as the Lucha House Party continues to cause trouble for the SmackDown Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Nakamura.

Despite being a tag team, there has been trouble brewing between Dorado and Kalisto as well. So it is likely that the two will come to blows soon. It is possible that much like other luchadors like Andrade and Escobar, Dorado will also de-mask for WWE.

Do you think Lince Dorado should remove his mask? Let us know in the comments section below!

Chris Jericho talked about the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns while on Inside The Ropes. The former WWE Champion and the first AEW Champion Chris Jericho praised Roman Reigns and said that he always liked working with him.

''I love Joe; he's a great worker. I love working with him. I probably worked with him, I don't know, 40 times in 2016-17. We did house shows all around the world, live events all around the world, and he's got a great personality. If you would just let Roman Reigns be himself, he'll get over even more so''. H/T: WrestlingINC

He further went on to say that Roman Reigns actually reminds him of The Rock. Jericho said that. Jericho further said that he is the kind of guy that guys want to have a beer with and girls want to go on dates with.

However, he doesn't really get much of a chance to show that. He also said that Reigns just needs to be himself.

Just let him relax and be himself and I have no doubt he can be the top star in WWE for sure, which he kind of already is. But to a point where everybody knows it, and everybody agrees with it, and nobody's complaining.

#3 Backstage opinion of Braun Strowman in WWE

Braun Strowman proved his mettle after unexpectedly becoming the WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 36. The Monster Among Men defeated Goldberg to win the World Championship at WrestleMania.

There has been a lot speculation on where Braun Strowman will head now that his run as the top star is over. Tom Colohue has reported that management is very happy with Braun Strowman and the way he handled the pressure of being the top guy.

It is being stated that we can expect Braun Strowman to become WWE World Champion again and it was not just a one time deal.

''The WWE is very happy how his first title run went. They very much essentially just wanted to dip his toe in the water, and they are very impressed with how he stepped up in the last moment to essentially strap the entire Blue brand on his back. We didn't have Bray Wyatt that heavily feature. Roman Reigns wasn't there, Sami Zayn wasn't there. Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles, well, AJ Styles was still on RAW at the time. So Daniel Bryan was the only top star left when Braun became the Champion. He had to carry the whole darn thing. Right now, there are a lot of people on his side, by some accounts more people than ever before. And I think we will see him become Champion again."

#2 Seth Rollins chose his opponent in WWE

The Architect Seth Rollins has been on quite a roll in WWE as of late. The Monday Night Messiah is likely done with his feud with the Mysterio family and will be looking to move on now.

Tom Colohue has reported that Seth Rollins was given a list of possible opponents for SummerSlam. The list included names such as Murphy, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton. However, Rollins handpicked Dominik Mysterio to have a match.

He also revealed that Murphy and Rollins are great friends and are working on their storyline together.

''Buddy and Seth have been friends for a little while now, and when the initial idea was pitched of having them work together, they were both very excited for it, and they have been involved with the storyline quite a lot since.''

Colohue also revealed that Seth Rollins wants to help people like Dominik and Murphy get over in WWE.

''Seth really wants to work with everyone involved here, and he has handpicked quite a few people, including Dominik. He handpicked that one out of the list of potential matches. Seth wants to get people over, and I think Buddy Murphy might be his greatest triumph yet."

#1 AJ Styles talks about working with WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar

The Phenomenal One AJ Styles recently spoke about his match against Brock Lesnar at WWE Survivor Series 2017 on his Twitch stream. The match is regarded as one of the best matches of that year.

Former WWE Champion AJ Styles talked about his backstage workings with Brock Lesnar and how much fun the two had in putting the match together. He spoke about how it was a true 'David vs Goliath' match and the dynamics of working through it.

''Putting together that match was a lot of fun. I thought it came together really well and I'm really proud of that match. It was a true David vs. Goliath thing with him beating the c**p out of me at the beginning and making people think, 'Oh, AJ's got no chance' and then all of a sudden it was, 'Oh my God - maybe he does have a chance'. That was a really cool and fun match. Brock's so great, too. I loved working with him.''
