Top 5 Rumors of the Week and Analysis: 31 May, 2015

Big replacement in Elimination Chamber

First major title for Bray?

Rusev’s injury made it to the headlines this week and it came at the worst possible time for the Bulgarian Brute. He was just making the transition to life without Lana and before he could pull it off, he got sidelined. Rusev is almost sure to miss Elimination Chamber after the injury and WWE will have to come up with a replacement for the former US champion.

The favorite for the same is Bray Wyatt. The Eater of the worlds is not booked for any match at the Elimination Chamber now and seeing him inside the Elimination Chamber would be a great idea. Bray winning the title will be even better but the chances of this are pretty low.

Kevin Owens to move to Main Roster permanently

Things just got real

One of the major rumors that broke out during the week was the new contract of Kevin Owens. The NXT champion apparently signed a new main roster deal with WWE and is expected to stay around the main television shows even after Elimination Chamber.

As part of this, Owens will also be seen working in house shows that WWE puts together. WWE is also teasing a big surprise at Elimination Chamber and if we add both the rumors together, then there is a chance of Owens winning the United States Championship from John Cena at the pay-per-view. He however has a score to settle in NXT, speaking of which brings us to our next major rumor.
