WWE Rumors: Roman Reigns Backstage Heat, Mark Henry Retirement & More
Hell in a Cell is less than two weeks away and the next episode of Monday Night Raw is going to be full of WWE Legends and a few surprises. Here are the hottest and latest rumors from the WWE Universe.
Backstage Heat on Roman Reigns
In this week's episode of Raw, Roman Reigns cut a lengthy promo about his feud with Bray Wyatt, who he is scheduled to fight inside Hell in a Cell. The hardcore Chicago fans did not like his promo as the crowd started the "What?" chants at him, per What Culture.
The report added that fans also chanted "boring" straight to Reigns, which did not please the superstar. He was also greeted with the same chants on SmackDown by the Cincinnati crowd. According to Wrestling Inc, there was a negative backstage reaction to Reigns' promo, with some people not liking the idea of giving him a long time to talk as he is not close to being good at delivering promos.
Mark Henry to Retire after Wrestlemania 32
The former World Heavyweight Champion has been with the WWE for almost 20 years and has been long rumored to be retiring after WrestleMania 32 in Dallas. In a report by 24Wrestling, Henry confirmed that he will indeed retire after the event in his home state of Texas, as his contract will expire the night after.
The "World's Strongest Man" also revealed in the report that he was supposed to retire in 2013 but was talked into signing a three-year extension, which would be his last as an active performer. Henry is one of the longest-tenured wrestlers in the WWE roster with only The Undertaker and Triple H having more years under their belts, per 24Wrestling.
Zeb Colter Not Returning to TV?
Jack Swagger's manager has been out since December of last year when Colter was attacked by Rusev backstage as a way of writing him off the television. Lords of Pain reports that the Zeb Colter gimmick won't be brought back to TV, but he is still under contract with the WWE and is listed as out due to injury.
