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:
- Regarding the Elimination Chamber special on the WWE Network, because it's not a regular pay-per-view the belief is that the talent won't be paid as if it was.
- On that note, expect to see a lot more special Network exclusive live events like this in the future.
- According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is bringing in ringers for this next season of Tough Enough. It could be because they're giving out a $250,000 contract to the winner and want to have some semblance of control over who wins.
- It's expected that WWE will add the Bella twins vs. Naomi & Tamina Snuka to the Payback pay-per-view as the final match on the card.
