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:
- Dave Meltzer noted recently that people within UFC are of the belief that Brock Lesnar is definitely coming back. What's more, his first match up could be a third fight against Frank Mir.
- There's been more speculation that both Randy Orton and Sheamus will return to WWE as surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble.
- Speaking of surprise entrants in the Rumble match, add Rob Van Dam, Bo Dallas, and the Dudley Boyz as names making the rounds.
- Also, according to PW Insider, there was talk at Raw this week of using a couple NXT stars in the Royal Rumble. No word on who those two would be.
- There's been a rumor going around that WWE programming will be going back to a TV-14 rating in the near future but that does not appear to be the case.
