My sources tell me that Aaron Snyder is indeed in contract negotiations again with WWE. Rumors have been swirling for months on when the Prodigal Son would return to the squared circle, and it appears that it won't be too long from now. The biggest match and feud being discussed for Aaron's return is a match against current WWE Champion Hayden. The two long-time rivals (but, oddly enough, best friends outside of wrestling) will settle the score after Aaron defeated Hayden for the WWE Championship originally back in 2015. We here at the rumor site are excited for Aaron's return to the ring. It's been a long time coming.
Despite being World Heavyweight Champion now, Chris Jericho is still in intense contract talks with Alan Snyder. Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling have both put in intense bids for Chris Jericho. It should be interesting to see where this leads to but Alan is determined to keep Jericho.
Speaking of Alan, it appears that the legend may be taking a step back to the upper midcard for a good portion of the season. An IC Title run has been discussed, along with possible feuds against the likes of Conor McGregor, Roman Reigns, Batista, and more.
Zack Poe has been sponsored by the New England Patriots. He was spotted hanging with the Superbowl Champions. Poe is good friends with Tom Brady.
Shelton Benjamin and Carlito have been in contract talks with the WWE and it is more than likely that they will be signed on as well. Where each of them will go is a mystery, but it's even being discussed that they could be a tag team.
Brock Lesnar appeared on Chris Coleman's podcast to talk about WWE, politics, and other things. Lesnar said on the podcast that he is looking for another run in the UFC and has been in talks with Dana White.
Roman Reigns received high praise for his performance at Ground Zero. Management is looking into a possible Roman Reigns push. Alas, plans haven't changed for Roman and Dean to continue their program with Seth Rollins later in the season.
Unfortunately, while WWE tried to talk out with Paul Star to have discussions about a return, the discussions have fallen through and it looks like Star won't be returning, just as we originally reported. These rival rumor sites always trying to pick up the scoop but failing, smh.
CM Punk's return is currently the most watched clip on the WWE Network since Seth Rollins' WWE title win at WrestleMania. Punk's return was kept under wraps and nobody knew about it besides CM Punk, the referee, and Alan Snyder.
Rumor has it that the brand split is returning to the WWE, especially now with Chris Jericho's cash-in last night. Since his briefcase was only for the World Heavyweight Championship, the titles are now once again, split. Smackdown and RAW will have different rosters like before, with their own champions. This could make for a very interesting build up for both shows, leading up to certain cross-brand shows or PPV's. One question still remains. Which show will prevail? Which show will be superior? RAW? Or Smackdown? There have been several ideal general managers for the role. Including Ric Flair, Theodore Long, Chad Snyder, and even Maven Huffman. This has also led to a minor change in WWE creative which could lead to major changes onscreen.
WrestleMania, the show of shows, is returning to Las Vegas in 2018 for WrestleMania Eight. Alan Snyder made the official announcement at a press conference featuring several other WWE wrestlers. Alan Snyder also announced that President Donald Trump has already signed on to make an appearance at WrestleMania. What his role will be remains to be seen.
