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:
- CM Punk will apparently start his MMA training at Roufusport in Milwaukee on Jan. 5, 2015, according to MMA personality Front Row Brian. Roufusport is well known for its striking coaching but has also been the center of controversy in recent months for the treatment of those training there. Considering Punk's concerns, this would be an interesting pairing if true.
- Here's an interesting one, from Daily Wrestling News: Triple H wants to work with Sting regardless of Undertaker's plans for WrestleMania 31 but Vince McMahon wants to book Sting vs. Undertaker if "The Phenom" does decide to work the show. Take that as you will.
- AJ Lee's acceptance speech at the Slammy Awards citing names like Paige and Emma as the future of the Divas division was apparently off script and there was some heat on her for those comments. The Observer notes that her injury timing and running around with CM Punk has created some discomfort backstage.
- Regarding Adrian Neville rumors and the "Mighty Mouse-esque" gimmick they have been throwing around ideas for, that may also include a mask and making him a kids character, according to the Observer.
- PW Insider has noted that Gail Kim has not signed a new contract with TNA but will work on a per date deal going forward.
