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 it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- TC of WrestleVotes noted ESPN wanted the WWE Draft on its streaming platform but the idea never got off the ground because it doesn’t work in a PLE style setting.
- They also noted there is a ton of hype around Carmelo Hayes with a hugely positive reaction to his recent title win at SmackDown tapings.
- PW Insider says that they’ve been told the WWE announce teams will change after the holidays now that Joe Tessitore’s commitments with college football have finished up.
- For what it’s worth, Matt Hardy said on X that the Hardy Boyz have “been re-signed for a while.”
- Per Fightful Select, Andrade is now free and clear to sign anywhere after WWE agreed to release him from his non-compete clause. This apparently came about after RUSH introduced him to an attorney with a good relationship with WWE that helped make it happen.
