WRESTLING RUMORS AND NEWS ROUND UP - JAN 17, 2016

FROM TODAY WRESTLING PREDICTOR GIVES YOU ALL ROUND WRESTLING RUMOR AND NEWS ROUND UP AT GLANCE........!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Jericho's current WWE run is believed to end around 

late April or late May,according to PWInsider. Jericho is 

expected to work WrestleMania 32 and Fastlane but it looks

 like he could be working the post-WrestleMania pay-per-

view as well.

The Rock called Dolph Ziggler an honorary family member 

after Ziggler teamed with The Usos at today's WWE 

live event in New Delhi.

For what it's worth, Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling 

Observer Live that he's heard a lot of speculation saying Hulk

 Hogan may be back with WWE in time for WrestleMania 32.

 Dave Meltzer said he wouldn't rule a Hogan return out of the 

question but WWE isn't going to rush into bringing him back 

as long as there's a risk of backlash. There probably won't 

be any backlash but it is very possible.

On a related note, it was speculated by PWInsider this week

 that WWE wouldn't bring Hogan back until his lawsuit with 

Gawker is resolved as there is potential for more trouble to 

issues to come up. Hogan's trial with Gawker is set to begin 

about three weeks before WrestleMania.

It's worth noting that Mark Henry was added to the 

official WWE Royal Rumble roster this week but then 

removed and as of this writing, has not been added 

back.

 WWE officials wanted to debut AJ Styles as a 

surprise entrant in the 30-man Royal Rumble main event at

 one point but those plans could have changed when the

 news got out that he and others from NJPW may be coming

 into the company 

 WWE sent us a response to rumors floating online 

that Daniel Bryan will be getting       his WWE release this

 Monday, stating that there was "no truth" to the rumor.The

 rumor started when wrestling reporter and author Scott 

Keith posted an anonymous email last week from someone 

claiming to work in WWE's Human Resources department 

stating that one of their co-workers processed a release 

for Bryan for this coming Monday, January 18th. Keith first 

broke news of Cena taking time off last fall to film a reality 

show for FOX. The rumor picked up steam when an article at 

What Culture ran a story based on the anonymous email.
