WWE Rumors: Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio and Tuesday's Top WWE News

Vince McMahon has become to WWE what weddings used to be for WWE. Whenever you see his name attached to a show, you know that he is going to be in the main event/final segment and that he is inevitably going to get injured somehow. 

Of course, whenever McMahon does get knocked out, it always looks so phony. Back in 2008, the stage collapsed on him as a way to end the Million Dollar Mania challenge. Last night, Big Show threw his hand in McMahon's general direction, though it didn't really come close to hitting him. 

What a sad, goofy angle to close a terrible episode of Monday Night Raw. It's a sad statement when TNA has been a better wrestling product of late. 

To take the bile taste out of your mouth, here are some news, notes and rumors from behind the scenes in WWE. 

PAUL HEYMAN TEASING BROCK LESNAR RETURN

With Triple H making an appearance at No Way Out on Sunday, the speculation about Brock Lesnar is going to increase tenfold. Paul Heyman was busy watching Raw on Monday night, teasing the return of the monster, though he didn't give a specific date/time/etc. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Will Lesnar show up at No Way Out?

Our Take: Unless WWE has lost its minds—which is entirely possible looking at television lately—there is no way Lesnar appears on a pay-per-view unannounced. That would defeat the purpose of bringing someone in to try and move the needle. 

Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Heyman Hustles

If you are itching to see Lesnar again, my best guess would be to wait until the 1,000th episode of Raw. Everyone in the company or associated with the company is going to be on hand for that show, so that will likely be Lesnar's return, if I had to guess.

JOHN CENA IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS

Remember the build for Rock vs. Cena at WrestleMania, where Cena had to win and could never come back if he lost? If you weren't convinced that he just doesn't care, or remember, that speech, all you had to do was watch him no-sell his feud with Big Show. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Should we expect more from Cena?

Our Take: After years of doing and saying the exact same thing, receiving the exact same push, defeating the exact same wrestlers, if you think that Cena is ever going to change, or WWE will allow him to change, you are fooling yourself. 

Hype Meter: 0 out of 5 No-Sells

The general malaise surrounding the WWE product right now can be attributed to Vince McMahon, since he does make the final decisions, but John Cena is the face of this era. A lot of people love him, as they should, but his character remains a big problem in WWE.

ALBERTO DEL RIO CAN'T CATCH A BREAK

After missing four months of television due to a groin injury, Alberto Del Rio has been forced off No Way Out due to a concussion he suffered at last week's SmackDown tapings. Even when he came back, his singles match for the title against Sheamus at Over The Limit was changed to a fatal four-way. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Is Alberto Del Rio cursed?

Our Take: While I am not a superstitious person, there could be something to the Del Rio Curse. He was supposed to be the next big thing in WWE last year after winning the Royal Rumble, only to keep losing matches and eventually reaching a point where no one cared. Now he keeps getting hurt. Cue the crazy Twilight Zone music. 

Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 White Towels

Even worse than the loss of Del Rio is that it means WWE probably won't be using Ricardo Rodriguez until Del Rio returns. Rodriguez is the best ring announcer WWE has, and he needs to be on Raw and SmackDown every week.

POSSIBLE NO WAY OUT SPOILER BEING ADVERTISED

If you want to know what direction WWE could be going at No Way Out, look no further than an advertisement in New York, where Raw will be taking place. It says that John Laurinaitis will be "Assistant to the WWE Board of Directors."

Question on Everybody's Mind: What exactly does that job title mean?

Our Take: Given the way WWE throws job titles around, expecting the fans to forget all about them in a week, that could mean he is getting coffee for people next week before running the entire company in two weeks. 

Hype Meter: 2 out of 5 Johnny Ace Scooters

WWE advertises so much that doesn't turn out to be true because Vince McMahon can't keep a thought in his head for more than 44 seconds, so this could end up being another swerve. With Cena telling Big Show if he loses on Sunday, he is a failure, it would not be a shock to see Show win.
