<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/Aa0GcNR.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Drew McIntyre won the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania when he won the Royal Rumble last month. The Scottish star has been pushed to the top of the company in recent months and according to a report by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="WrestlingNews (opens in a new tab)" href="https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/big-wwe-wrestlemania-36-main-event-spoiler/" target="_blank">WrestlingNews.co</a>, Vince McMahon is very high on McIntyre right now and believes he&#8217;s the man to lead the company at present.</p>



<p>The report goes on to state that McIntyre will face off against Brock Lesnar in the WrestleMania main event where he will walk out as the WWE Champion.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Fewer WWE Stars Traveling To Saudi Arabia</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/4YQ0WMr.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>WWE Super ShowDown takes place in less than a week&#8217;s time and it&#8217;s interesting to note that there is no multi-man match or Rumble as part of this year&#8217;s trip, which means that there are much fewer stars traveling to the company than usual.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s unknown if this is by design or following last year&#8217;s events but <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="The Wrestling Observer (opens in a new tab)" href="http://www.f4wonline.com" target="_blank">The Wrestling Observer</a> noted that there were &#8220;far less talent than in the past&#8221; currently ready to make the trip to the Middle East and then return in time for next week&#8217;s SmackDown.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>3. John Cena vs Elias At WrestleMania?</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/9N5zteI.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>There have been a lot of rumors regarding the role that John Cena will play at WrestleMania, and it appears that questions will finally be answered next week on SmackDown when he returns to WWE TV. Cena appeared at last year&#8217;s WrestleMania in a throwback to his Basic Thugonomics persona where he attacked Elias.</p>



<p>The current rumor circulating is that Cena will make his return and set up a match against Elias at this year&#8217;s show, which could be very good storytelling following on from their collision at WrestleMania 35. Cena has also been linked to matches against both Goldberg and The Fiend at the Show of Shows.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Sasha Banks Expected To Return At Elimination Chamber?</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/GiusckN.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Sasha Banks has been on the sidelines for much of 2020 after being attacked by Lacey Evans backstage on SmackDown. Interestingly, the former Women&#8217;s Champion was <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="reportedly (opens in a new tab)" href="https://sportzwiki.com/news/sasha-banks-present-backstage-on-smackdown" target="_blank">reportedly</a> backstage last night and scheduled to be part of the show, but this didn&#8217;t happen.</p>



<p>Instead, Lacey Evans announced the SmackDown women&#8217;s Elimination Chamber match and considering she was the woman who put Banks on the sidelines with an ankle injury, it&#8217;s likely that Banks will make her return to the company as part of the match so that she can get her hands on Evans and exact some revenge.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Is Matt Riddle The Next Randy Orton?</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/ZIKYU8b.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Matt Riddle is easily one of the most exciting talents coming through NXT at present but he has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent months. It appears that Riddle has been quite brash when looking for programs against Brock Lesnar and Goldberg without asking WWE&#8217;s permission first.</p>



<p>On a recent episode of The Wrestling Observer, Riddle was likened to a young Randy Orton, when he first joined the company and was unaware of the process backstage.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;The current view at the top on Riddle is that there are some who think he’s got magic and others who don’t see it, but the key in his situation is his “lack of understanding of politics” which translated would seem to be trying to do programs with Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar without going to them first.&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>6. AJ Styles vs Shawn Michaels?</strong></h2>



<p>AJ Styles vs Shawn Michaels was a dream match that was rumored for the Royal Rumble a few years ago, but now it appears that the company could be looking to give Styles that match in the future. This past week on RAW, Styles was likened to Michaels by his teammate Karl Anderson and now WWE has posted on their Social Media profiles asking if Styles is the new Mr. WrestleMania.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s interesting to note that they tagged Michaels in the update to make him aware that Styles was coming for his title.</p>
