The rumour mill is rife with speculation heading into this weekend's Survivor Series, but more than a few that were flying around a few short weeks ago have been blasted out of the sky by major changes WWE made to the card.

AJ Styles vs. Brock Lesnar? Gone, and a heel Daniel Bryan is the new WWE Champion. A souped-up mega-match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey? Postponed due to 'The Man' suffering some nasty injuries at the hands of Nia Jax on Raw. That's two massive alterations to the show late on, and it certainly has social media talking.

The questions are many; will a legend drop by to offer up hints on his WrestleMania program? Which direction will WWE take with the women's scene now their original plans have been shot to pieces?
