WWE top five rumors of the week and analysis: 7 June 2017

#2 Samoa Joe to lose against Brock Lesnar

The Rumour: The Wrestling Observer have speculated that the winner of the Fatal-five way match at Extreme Rules is in for a losing feud against Brock Lesnar. Furthermore, it adds that WWE is fast tracking towards a Braun Strowman-Brock Lesnar fight at SummerSlam.

The Potential: Samoa Joe was never a favourite in the on-going storyline with Brock Lesnar. The fact that he is a transitional contender is known to most fans. WWE still pursuing the Lesnar-Strowman match suggests that Strowman could chase Lesnar once he returns to television.

The Fallout: Joe is heading into a tough battle, but it is going to be fun while it lasts. The promo he gave on Raw Talk after Extreme Rules was top notch. Similarly, the segment with Paul Heyman during this week’s Raw was also impressive.
