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

Samoa Joe to be NXT Champion

Following up with the major Kevin Owens news, this one is bound to happen. Owens will be busy on the main roster with his new contract and stuff but is likely to stay around NXT for some time. WWE wants him to make a smooth transition from NXT to the main roster and this includes dropping the NXT championship credibly.

Samoa Joe is the name considered to win the title from Owens and WWE can do it two ways. Either they can force Owens to forfeit the title once he reached main roster just like they did it with Paige. This would keep him protected as well. On the other hand, they could let Samoa Joe defeat him.

Roman Reigns might join Authority

If you thought that Roman Reigns was going to sit out of Elimination Chamber without doing something impactful, think again. There are rumors in the internet about a possible Heel turn from Roman Reigns as the fans are not treating him well as a baby face.

And instead of just being a simple heel turn, WWE is going to take things a step higher by making Reigns join the Authority. Yes, you heard that right, Reigns in the Authority. The idea is to let Reigns have a heel run alongside Stephanie McMahon and Triple H for some time before turning him face just like they did it with Batista and Randy Orton. How they are planning to do this at Elimination Chamber however, is still a mystery.
