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:

• The consensus among PW Insider’s WWE sources is that Oba Femi will face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
• After a recent rumor indicated the injured Jordynne Grace had been planned for a Triple Threat Women’s United States title match at WrestleMania, a report on Bodyslam’s Patreon says the Women’s U.S. title match will now be a one-on-one between Giulia and Tiffany Stratton.
• WWE pulled the “Ricky Saints Absolute Experience” concert from the March 3 NXT from its social media channels due to the negative reaction the segment drew online, according to Fightful Select. It apparently wasn’t Saints’ idea, as he’s been trying to avoid drawing comparisons to The Rock.
• While NXT officials seem to have known the concert wasn’t great, Fightful reports there are no worries about Saints going forward. However, it was noted that WWE hadn’t planned on the former AEW talent spending a whole year in NXT when he joined the brand last February.
• Fightful also says Will Ospreay has been working out in the ring before AEW shows. After neck surgery last year, the Brit seems to be on target for a “return to form as it relates to the level he was competing at before.” The site’s heard they’re hoping Ospreay can be on August 30’s All In, and back for some of the build to this year’s return to Wembley Stadium.
• Before his appearance with Fit Finlay on Tuesday’s NXT, William Regal hadn’t been seen at the WWE Performance Center or on the road with the main roster in quite some time. That per PW Insider Elite, which also heard that Finlay and Regal will be NXT regulars with Birthright.
