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:
- Unsuprisingly, Jinder Mahal’s push appears to coincide with WWE’s expansion plans for India. They launched WWE Shop there earlier this week, and announced the hiring of a new executive to run all initiatives and operations in the country.
- According to Sportskeeda, the Bollywood Boyz - who were renamed the Singh Brothers on SmackDown - will be affiliated with Mahal full-time going forward.
- Fans in attendance report Ember Moon may have suffered an injury at last night’s NXT taping when she was knocked from the top rope and landed shoulder-first on the guard rail. She didn’t participate any further in the match she was in, and was said to be crying as trainers helped her to the back.
- AAA Vice President Dorian Roldan said in an interview with Medio Tiempo that wrestlers under contract to that company who’ve appeared on Lucha Underground could appear on Impact in the future.
- That quote both angered wrestlers such as Ricochet who are unable to work on U.S. television due to their LU contract, and again raised doubts about LU’s future beyond the already filmed season three.
