What is the story about?
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:
- Per Bodyslam.net, Seth Rollins is expected to work a match at WrestleMania 42 and he may have already been cleared.
- Danhausen has officially signed with WWE, says PW Insider. The company went out of their way to hide him outside of Chicago so he wouldn’t be seen before the big mystery crate reveal. It’s believed he will be at Monday Night Raw this week.
- Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that there were some within the company who pushed to sign him and some who were opposed to it. “This was not a unanimous decision or anything like that.”
- Last one on Danhausen: Bodyslam.net claims WWE had been looking to bring him in dating back to July of last year but AEW extended his contract.
- Meltzer also said on WOR that WWE was originally building to Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam last year but decided to continue going with The Judgment Day. It appears now they’re turning Balor babyface and they could be going to the Mysterio match next.
- Bronson Reed was supposed to get the big spotlight in the Elimination Chamber match that went to Logan Paul, says Cory Hayes.
- Fightful Select notes people within AEW aren’t particularly concerned about Paramount becoming the top bidder for Warner Bros. Discovery, considering the company’s media rights give them stability at present time.
