Today we present you with 10 Huge Shocking WWE 2019 Rumors You NEED to Know About The Rock Returns, Jon Moxley Royal Rumble!
10: The Rock to return to SmackDown
As one of the most iconic stars in wrestling and entertainment as a whole
it's no secret that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson had a huge impact
on SmackDown during the show's early years.
After all, the term SmackDown comes from the Brahma Bull himself
and the blue brand was often referred to as The Rock's show.
Competing in the main event of the very first show in 1999
it's clear that the Fast and Furious star has a history with the show
and according to rumors, could be returning very soon.
Though the Hollywood megastar currently has his hands full with Hobbs and Shaw,
Joe Peisich of Barnburner Radio Network recently said
how WWE are trying to bring in as many big names for the first SmackDown when the brand moves to Fox this October, saying:
"I have also heard that for the first SmackDown on Fox in LA they’re trying to get The Rock,
they are trying to get Brock Lesnar, they are trying to get Ric Flair into it"
Whilst seeing the Beast or the Dirtiest Player in the Game for the show would still be great,
it is the rarely seen People's Champion who would make the first SmackDown on FOX a night to remember.
9: Big Van Vader for the Hall of Fame
Despite his Super heavyweight size, Leon 'Vader' White was one of the most nimble and athletic stars of his day.
Weighing in at close to 400lbs, Vader achieved most of his success outside of WWE,
holding gold in All Japan, New Japan, Pro Wrestling Noah and WCW.
A three time World Champion in both WCW and New Japan, Vader definitely had
career to be inducted into the WWE's 0Hall of Fame, but is yet to be given a spot.
In a Facebook post, Mick Foley, a 2013 Hall of Fame inductee revealed his reasons why the Super Heavyweight should be inducted,
saying how Vader was always a money draw, and brought out the best in opponents, whilst adding
that his matches stand the test of time, and when needed, the collosal Superstars
was able to play the Sympathetic Underdog.
Sadly passing in 2018, any induction for Vader now would be posthumous,
though many fans feel not only would the 2020 ceremony the night before WrestleMania 36 would be the right time
but it'd be Vader time as well.
8: The New Day breaks up
There have been few acts as consistently popular with the crowd in recent years than the New Day.
First appearing as cheering smiling babyfaces in 2014, fans were quick to turn on the group, though once the company eventually turned them heel,
the WWE Universe began to get behind the Power of Positivity.2019 has been a huge year for the group,
as it was Big E and Xavier Woods who helped earn Kofi Kingston a shot at the WWE Title at WrestleMania 35,
and the Ghanian Superstar made the most of the opportunity, succesfully winning the title from Daniel Bryan at the show of shows.
This positivity may soon come crashing down though, as rumors have circulated recently
WWE are planning to split up the five time Tag Team Champions,
and have Big E, the largest man in the group, turn heel.
Though rumors of E turning heel is nothing new, Joe Peisich of Barnburner Radio said in July that this is again a possibility, saying:
“Big E, there are several rumors going around, Big E may be turning heel.
Yes, E’ may be turning heel in the WWE.”
This turn would echo Seth Rollins betraying the Shield in 2014
and if done correctly, could see the former Powerlifter capture the WWE title in the near future,
possibly from his former friend.
A Big E heel turn would definitely spell the end for the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, and it would be interesting to see
how the three Superstars fared as singles stars after being in a team for so long.
7: AJ Styles becomes Universal Champion
Since joining the WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble, AJ Styles has had a career most wrestlers could only dream of.
Facing Chris Jericho in his WrestleMania debut, Styles would beat John Cena clean at Summerslam,
before capping off his first year in the promotion by claiming the WWE Title.
Holding the most coveted gold on SmackDown twice for a combined 511 days,
it's clear the Phenomenal One knows what it takes to become champion, and now as part of Monday Night RAW,
Whilst having Styles as the top star on the red brand would definitely be a great sight,
there are a few hurdles that the Phenomenal One would have to overcome.
For one, Styles has already faced champion Seth Rollins for the gold
and came up short against the Beastslayer at Money in the Bank 2019.
In addition, the former TNA star recently started a feud with United States Champion Ricochet
recently reuniting with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to dismantle the high flyer.
With the Club by his side though, it could only be a matter of time before Styles works his way back into the main event
and it's easy to see why the Universal gold may become Phenomenal by the end of the year.
6: Donald Trump on SmackDown
WWE have had it's fair share of celebrity guest stars, from Hugh Jackman to Muhammad Ali
but being able to have the President of the United States would probably be the company's biggest ever score
Trump, who took office in January 2017, certainly has a history with Vince McMahon
hosting WrestleMania's 4 and 5, as well as being one part of WrestleMania 23's Battle of the Billionaires
Even outside the ring, Trump is linked with WWE, as it was Linda McMahon who served as Administrator for the
Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019, whilst WWE was the biggest donor to the
Trump foundation until it's closure earlier this year due to several legal and ethical violations
According to reports, FOX are hoping forTrump to appear on the very first SmackDown on their network, which is set to air this October
Though having the President of the United States would be a huge score for WWE, we're not sure if the company is ready to pull that trigger
as Trump has become one of the most divisive presidents in recent history.
With studies from national media inc showing that the vast majority of WWE fans identify as Democrats, it could definitely be the
have the Donald appear on the Blue Brand when SmackDown joins Fox later this year
5: Queen of the Ring
In the years since WWE kicked off their Women's Evolution in the Summer of 2015,
a lot has changed for the ladies of the company
No longer referred to as Divas, women in WWE are being treated the best they've ever been treated,
now having compelling stories instead of cliche poorly-written soap operas
Over the past four years, WWE have strived for equality for women, culminating in Becky Lynch
Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair having the first ever female Main event in WrestleMania history earlier this year
According to reports though, the company could be continuing this move
with a rumored Queen of the Ring tournament, a female equivalent of the King of the Ring
Speaking in late 2018, Dave Meltzer said how the WWE were considering a tournament for females,
and given the talent of the roster nowadays, there's no shortage of women who would make fine queens
The obvious pick would be Charlotte Flair, who already refers to her as the Queen, and given her
heritage being the daughter of The Nature Boy Ric Flair, already comes from wrestling royalty
Whilst there's been no major hints of an all female tournament by WWE this year, expect the Queen of
the Ring tournament to be the next step in the company's Women's Evolution
4: Hulk Hogan to return to SmackDown
Whether fans love him or hate him, it's hard to argue with the fact that Hulk Hogan is arguably the biggest name in wrestling history
Winning his first WWF title in 1984, Hogan helped propel professional wrestling into new heights, becoming a key player in the
company's formative years as well as main eventing 8 of the first 9 WrestleManias
Fired from WWE in 2015 after racist comments made years prior came to light, the Hulkster was
re-instated into the company's Hall of Fame last year, but has been seldom used since
Appearing at Crown Jewel last November and as part of WrestleMania 35 this past April, the WWE are reportedly planning on having the
Hulkster be one of the various guest stars for the first edition of SmackDown when the show moves to FOX
The liklihood of Hogan appearing on the blue show has increased considerably recently thanks to Eric Bischoff
being Executive Director of the show, and the two working together in the past, in WWE, WCW and TNA
With that said, many fans haven't forgiven Hogan for his comments that were leaked in 2015, and though bringing the former World
Champion back may be a bad call from a publicity standpoint, we all know to never say never when it comes to WWE
3: The Undertaker Vs. Sting
Over the years, the WWE Universe has seen plenty of dream matches
though one match that alluded fans for years was the Undertaker Vs. Sting
For years, the two would remain in different companies, as whilst the Deadman was building a legacy in WWE,
Sting was doing the same in WCW, remaining loyal to the now defunct promotion until it's dying day in March 2001
After the Stinger joined WWE at the 2014 Survivor Series, fans were quick to speculate on finally getting
this dream match and though Sting is now retired, it seems the bout could be a possibility
Recently, WWE posted an image of the two ready to face off in the ring, simply captioned "Imagine",
and this has only added fuel to the rumors that the pair are set to face off
The Undertaker, who has had a handful of matches over the past year, is still in trememnedous shape,
and though Sting said he was done with wrestling as part of his 2016 Hall of Fame induction
did tell Wrestling Travel he would come out of retirement for a match against the Deadman
Though unlikely, it seems a match between the two is a real possibility
and fans can only hope that the match and story would be worth the years of speculation
2 Goldberg To Return For One More Match
When fans last saw Goldberg in a WWE ring, it wasn't a pretty site.
After a two year break, the former Universal Champion returned
2 Goldberg To Return For One More Match
to face The Undertaker At Super Showdown in June, but struggled to keep up.
Busted open and barely able to lift the Deadman at times, Goldberg struggled greatly in the match,
a far cry from the unstoppable force he had been just a few years earlier.
Post match, Taker was clearly unhappy with how the match went, as what
had been considered a dream match ended as a mess. In response, Goldberg has dropped hints about returning once again,
claiming he needs to erase the frail image of his last match in Saudi Arabia.
Though he may not have seem quite like himself in Jeddah, there's no shortage of fans who would want to see Goldberg come back for one more match,
though given how badly his last return played out, another encounter for the former WCW World Champion
may still be a huge risk.
1: Jon Moxley for the 2020 Royal Rumble
Given everything Jon Moxley has said about WWE since leaving earlier this year,
it seems impossible that the former Dean Ambrose would want anything to do with the company ever again
After telling Vince McMahon and Triple H that he would leave for one year before making his big return,
the plan was reportedly for Moxley, then still Ambrose, to return to the WWE at the 2020 Royal Rumble
according to Rajah.com, though it's unclear whether the Shield member would have won the historic 30 man match.
Obviously, these plans seem to mean very little now, as Moxley has become wrestling's hottest commodity
since leaving WWE, capturing the IWGP United States title in his first match in New Japan,
and recently signing with AEW, debuting at their Double or Nothing event,
and attacking both Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega. Moxley's contract with the new company is a three year deal,
though the former WWE Champion would be able to leave after one year if he didn't feel happy in the new promotion.
hough this get out clause could lead to Moxley returning to WWE at some point next year,
we can't see that happening, as after everything Moxley has said about WWE
and especially Vince McMahon since leaving, it seems this bridge has been truly burnt.
