peculating 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 it all with
a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- Nothing confirmed, but Wrestling Observer Live’s Bryan Alvarez heard there’s “discussion” at WWE about moving the Saturday Night’s Main Event that’s planned for early December to Dec. 27. That would put a show that’s expected to feature John Cena’s final match head-to-head with AEW’s Worlds End PPV.
