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:
- Though plans could change in the following week, Brock Lesnar is not currently scheduled to win the WWE world heavyweight championship at Battleground this weekend.
- For that matter, apparently there is a swerve planned for the main event of the show, though there aren't any details on it just yet.
- The reason Stephanie McMahon introduced the NXT women on Raw this week instead of Paige calling them as reinforcements is because WWE felt Stephanie could give them instant credibility by bringing them in personally.
- According to PW Insider, Kane is likely going to come back as a babyface when he returns from his storyline injury.
- The Wrestling Observer has noted that Alberto El Patron missed the recent autism event due to a personal issue but no one wants to discuss what it is.
