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:
- There are some who believe John Cena could possibly return in time for WrestleMania 32, although WWE isn't planning for that to happen. Meanwhile, the Observer is reporting Cena's shoulder injury was an ongoing thing, like he was having nagging problems and it got worse with how he trains.
- Apparently some in NXT were upset about Roman Reigns saying no one had seen Triple H since the beating he gave him at TLC on Raw when he had appeared at the Takeover: London show just days later. The idea, according to the Observer, is it made NXT look second rate. Amazing.
- AJ Styles could still enter the Royal Rumble as a surprise in that he wouldn't be announced beforehand. He could also spend some time in NXT before going to the main roster.
- According to MLW, part of why WWE is bringing in Shinsuke Nakamura is to be the face of the WWE Network in Japan. The service just launched there.
- Not surprisingly, the Observer is reporting WWE is looking to market the Balor Club t-shirts off the success of the Bullet Club merchandise.
