WWE Rumors: Is Stone Cold Steve Austin Facing John Cena at WrestleMania 31?

The latest round of WWE rumors is a doozy, so let's dive right in to all the talk on the Internet about the world of professional wrestling.

Firstly, rumors circulated Wednesday that Stone Cold Steve Austin and the WWE had something cooking after The Wrestling Observer reported WWE requested production on several new Austin t-shirts.

Now, the rumors are that Austin is in intense training in order to prepare for a match at WrestleMania 31. Austin has made a passing mention on Ric Draison's podcast that he was trying to get back in shape for a comeback. But just to anger some of the fans out there, the rumor is Austin could face John Cena if he were to return.

Speaking of WrestleMania 31, talk has once again begun that Sting will have his retirement match at the Showcase of the Immortals next year. The only question left is how to go about it.

Dean Ambrose is also expected to make his return at Night of Champions on Sunday. Roman Reigns' clean win over Seth Rollins on Monday Night Raw this week reportedly occurred because their match on Sunday won't have a definitive conclusion. We'll likely see a beat down by The Authority until Ambrose comes out to make the save.

Finally, on an interesting note, reports the angle between AJ Lee and Paige is, in fact, meant to tease some sexual tension between the two. WWE is still a PG product but the company has been more liberal lately with the use of adult language and sexuality and WWE reportedly wants to throw in a bit more adult content on TV. It's unlikely we'll see Attitude Era or Ruthless Aggression era levels of sexuality any time soon, as WWE still has sponsors such as Mattel to consider.
