WWE Stomping Grounds: 8 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know

7. Brock Lesnar Will Be The Special Guest Referee

One other option open to WWE, and indeed the main rumour doing the rounds ahead of the show, is that Brock's involvement in the night will start well before any potential cash in. In order to drum up some interest in the evening's main event, he'll be installed as the special guest referee in the Universal Championship match.

Now, if you're wondering why Baron Corbin would willingly choose to insert the only man who could potentially one-up him on the greatest night of his professional career - raising his hand in victory then immediately throwing him into an F5 and chasing in to steal his thunder and title - then, well, welcome to the world of WWE creative logic.

WWE would pitch it as "Yes! What a genius move! Baron's picked the one man who hates Seth Rollins more than the does!" but, in reality, it's entirely stupid. This hasn't ever stopped them before though, and Lesnar is the biggest name they've currently got at their disposal, so don't be at all surprised to see him feature in this capacity.
