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:
- Plans call for Samoa Joe to be a Raw Superstar from here forward.
- Most of the Elimination Chamber card will be established on tonight’s SmackDown.
- The decision to downplay John Cena tying Ric Flair’s WWE title record was partially because they don’t want to call attention to a short reign, since plans call for him to drop the belt at Elimination Chamber.
- Rusev’s broken nose is legit, and happened when he took a crossbody from Kofi Kingston on the Rumble ‘go home’ show.
- Chris Jericho reportedly tweaked an ankle in the Rumble working with Brock Lesnar, but obviously not enough to keep him from working on Raw.
