WWE Rumors: Buzz on Road to WWE Hell in a Cell 2015 for Week of Oct. 15

Current, former and mysteriously absent WWE stars all feature in this week's rumor roundup of all things World Wrestling Entertainment.

It's an interesting time for WWE with a big edition of Raw coming up on Monday, where the onus will be on those stars present, including those returning, to inject plenty of enthusiasm and intrigue into the upcoming Hell in a Cell show.

Here's what's been flying around the Internet over the past few days regarding rumors.

Some Heat on Roman Reigns?

Those who tuned into Raw this past Monday undoubtedly noted a pretty interesting and lengthy promo from a guy who doesn't have too much experience in that field—Roman Reigns.

Reigns addressed a number of issues in front of a notoriously hostile environment in Chicago. 

However, WrestlingInc.com's Marc Middleton wrote that there was "a negative backstage reaction at Monday's WWE RAW to the lengthy promo that Roman Reigns cut in the ring."

Middleton also noted there were some who felt Reigns shouldn't have been given that much time to talk, which doesn't really seem like the best attitude.

If WWE is intent on making Reigns a well-rounded main event star, it's clear he needs to brush up on his slight weaknesses. And while he impresses in the ring more often than not, it's his mic work that needs improvement.

So doing stuff like this, throwing him out in front of a tough audience, could be a good way to strengthen his in-ring mic skills.

This just seems like piling heat on someone for the sake of it, sadly.

A Note on Zeb Colter

Eagle-eyed viewers of Monday's Lumberjack match in the main event of Raw spotted a few familiar faces that haven't been seen for a while, but one jumped out to this writer more than most.

Jack Swagger's fall from grace has been quite spectacular since The Real Americans split, and with Swagger having limited time in the ring on TV, that obviously means less appearances for Zeb Colter.

Colter, who had a nice rapport with Swagger, hasn't been seen for a very long time, but Middleton (via Lords of Pain) provided an update on his future.

He discussed unconfirmed rumors making the rounds that Colter's gimmick, the pro-American sidekick to Swagger, may not be getting another run on television.

That would either hint at a further spell away from TV for Swagger or perhaps an attempt to repackage him to try and rejuvenate his career. Middleton noted that Colter still works for WWE but is technically listed as being out of action.

Regardless of Colter's future, that update gives a clue as to whether the Colter-Swagger pairing will be back in the cards soon. Sadly for fans of the patriotic duo, their future together looks bleak.

WWE and Alberto Del Rio

Over at WrestleZone.com, Nick Paglino provided an update on what could be one of the biggest stories of the next few months.

This weekly update, based on information obtained from the Wrestling Observer, revealed a couple weeks ago that Carlito had been linked with a return to WWE as the company looked for another top Latin star.

Well, it's noted that there's serious interest about bringing back none other than Alberto Del Rio to WWE a little over a year since the company released him in August 2014.

This would mark a remarkable turnaround from WWE if it did turn to Del Rio, with Paglino writing that PWInsider.com confirmed the two parties have held talks recently, with no news as of yet about whether a deal has been secured to bring Del Rio back to WWE.

This would of course be big news for WWE if it came off. Del Rio burst onto the scene when he first arrived in 2010, but the landscape of the company is significantly different now compared to back then. Still, you have to believe he would be thrown back into the top end of the company, with Del Rio likely to get a big push from the off.

This isn't just a story that affects Del Rio; it's one that could impact a number of main event stars in the coming months. Well worth keeping an eye on, this one.
