Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take
ADit all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- According to Bodyslam.net, there is some disagreement within WWE over who should win the John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar match.
- Bryan Alvarez posted to X that “the working idea” is the Sept. 20 WWE PLE will air on ESPN and it’s at least possible that every WWE PLE for the rest of the year will as well.
- Per Fightful Select, Danhausen has had his contract with AEW extended due to injury time. It will now go “well into 2026” and apparently it was against his wishes.
- The main event of Forbidden Door is expected to be the Lights Out Steel Cage match, says Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. He also said several people in the match will be going in already injured, so that could play a role in how the match goes down.
- PW Insider says former WWE producer David Sahadi has been released by MLW and his role in Real American Freestyle may have played a part in that.
