By K Sai Krishna Modified 01 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share WWE Rumor Review: The Undertaker; Roman Reigns; The Rock Welcome to the latest edition of WWE Rumor Review. Here, we'll take a look back at some of the top rumors from a few months ago and analyze how they have fared so far. In this edition, we'll talk about the rumors surrounding the historic Universal Championship reign of Roman Reigns. Speaking of The Tribal Chief, one prominent rumor that did the rounds was about him facing The Rock at WrestleMania. We'll learn about the canceled plans for The Great One's potential return to the company. Ever since hanging up his boots in 2020, there have been several rumors about The Undertaker possibly returning to WWE. We'll discuss the rumors surrounding that as well. So without further ado, let's check out the top five rumors.

#5 - Plans for Finn Balor

Finn Balor was drafted to Monday Night RAW as part of the WWE Draft 2021 as the #8 pick for the red brand. Drew McIntyre was one of the top stars on the red brand at the time and was drafted to SmackDown. This led to speculation that Balor could be positioned at the top of the card on RAW upon his return. WrestleVotes reported that a certain RAW writer pushed for Balor to be used in McIntyre's spot. "WWE has done a better job this go around of keeping draft results wrapped up. Good job by them. Only speculation I heard over the weekend included a story about how a RAW writer “banged the table” for Finn Balor, to be used in McIntyre’s role now on Monday nights. We shall see," WrestleVotes tweeted. WrestleVotes@WrestleVotesWWE has done a better job this go around of keeping draft results wrapped up. Good job by them.

Prior to moving to RAW, Balor was involved in a feud with Roman Reigns and competed for the Universal Championship. However, on RAW, he didn't earn a shot at the WWE Title and was mostly in the picture for the United States Championship. WWE@WWE.@FinnBalor AND #TheDemon are coming to #WWERaw!

#4 The Undertaker s rumored return

The Undertaker is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, if not the greatest. So, despite officially announcing his retirement, many fans still expect him to return in some capacity. Rumors of a potential return ran rampant ahead of last year's Crown Jewel. WWE@WWEHERE. HE. COMES. @undertaker

#2 Canceled plans for The Rock

Perhaps the biggest rumor over the course of the months leading up to Survivor Series last year was the potential return of The Rock. There was speculation that he would appear to confront Roman Reigns and set up a mega clash between the two at WrestleMania. The buzz continued to grow as the event marked 25 years of The Great One's WWE debut. However, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that despite Vince McMahon wanting The Rock to make an appearance at the event, it wouldn't be possible due to the latter being in Australia at the time.

#1 Huge plans for Roman Reigns

Ever since winning the Universal Championship in 2020, Roman Reigns has been on a path of destruction as he took out all comers, including legendary names like John Cena, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan and many more. However, the only man he was yet to conquer in his title reign was Brock Lesnar. WWE@WWE#TheBloodline drops The Beast!
