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 legitimate news or fact, it's just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- The word going around is to expect Sting to make his next appearance on WWE television either at or just before the Royal Rumble.
- As Keith Harris noted could happen here, WWE may be planning on fast tracking storylines to rush The Authority back to television in an attempt to boost ratings.
- Regarding Hulk Hogan talking about a WWE world heavyweight title run, there's absolutely no chance of that. A final retirement match, however, is a very real possibility and apparently the idea of teaming with John Cena for a match at WrestleMania 31 was floated at one point.
- The reason Naomi was taken off Total Divas is apparently because the producers of the show didn't see many storyline angles after she got married to Jimmy Uso. With Paige and Alicia Fox joining the cast, they needed to make room and there was no more drama to be had with Naomi.
- If the Tokyo Dome show does well on pay-per-view in January, the Observer Newsletter noted that Jeff Jarrett gave the impression they would wait for the G-1 finals next August to run another PPV event. Again, that's if Wrestle Kingdom 9 does well enough to justify it.
