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:
- After Penta posted teasers on Instagram about how “the wait is almost over…” and “521 days,” Luchablog’s analysis indicates this means he will reunite with Rey Fenix on Dec. 20 for AAA’s Guerra de Titanes event at the new 20,000 seat arena in Guadalajara, Mexico. That date is 521 days after Penta and Fenix last teamed together as the Lucha Bros in AEW, prior to signing with WWE.
- Luchablog also mentioned that, “They’re going to have to load it up like a PLE to fill that building and that seems to be the plan.”
- Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer claims WWE didn’t reveal the full bracket for John Cena’s “The Last Time Is Now tournament” on this week’s Raw because there are surprises planned that they don’t want to reveal yet.
- Fightful Select notes that Drew McIntyre’s WWE contract lasts until at least WrestleMania 44 in 2028, after he signed a new deal with the promotion last year. Drew is said to be making “millions of dollars per year” on this contract.
- For whatever it’s worth, Ridge Holland responded with “I wish” to Grok’s claim that he made at least two million dollars in total WWE base pay from 2018 through 2025, prior to his termination.
- F4WOnline’s Bryan Alvarez said AEW recently moved all of its storage items from Florida to Nashville. As a result of the move, “there is no longer a training ring in Florida,” which is where injured wrestlers “would go to work out and try to get cleared.” Alvarez is “not sure what the plan is now” in that regard.
