Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the reason WWE decided on having a tournament for the United States Championship Title was an attempt to jump start Rusev’s push. While Rusev isn’t in the tournament, it’s very possible that the tournament concludes with Rusev turning babyface and possibly winning championship title.

There is also speculation that after he captures the title, he may work a program with Aiden English.

As previously reported, Dave Meltzer claimed on Wrestling Observer Radio that the reason WWE nixed the plans for Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar at next year’s Royal Rumble event was because Vince McMahon doesn’t believe Balor is over enough.

Balor made reference to Meltzer’s claims on Twitter with the following tweet:

As seen on WWE programming, the company has been teasing the reunion of The Shield and it’s being rumored that the band will officially get back together on next week’s episode of RAW.

Dave Meltzer mentioned on Wrestling Observer Radio that the reason WWE is going with a Shield reunion for the TLC event is because neither John Cena nor Brock Lesnar will be on the show. The feeling is without them they needed something to build the pay-per-view around.

We noted earlier that the reason Dolph Ziggler has been off WWE programming lately is because the company doesn’t really have anything for him. This is the reason why other Superstars aren’t being used as well.

In an update, Bryan Alvarez mentioned on the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Live that Ziggler will likely be re-packaged when he is brought back to WWE television. There is currently no word on what the re-package could involve but we will keep you updated.

Summer Rae has been out of action since August after suffering an injury and is finally ready to return to action.

Dave Meltzer reported on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that Summer is ready to return and was backstage at television last week. It’s being said that the reason she hasn’t returned on television is because the company needs to find a spot to place her.

The feeling is right now that both RAW and SmackDown have enough active females so they need to find a place to write her in on television. It’s unknown which brand she will end up on. We will keep you updated.
