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:
- Now that WWE has gone ahead with breaking AJ Lee's record for the Divas title reign, there is already rampant speculation that CM Punk's modern streak of 434 straight days will be surpassed, possibly by Roman Reigns.
- Speaking of Reigns, PW Insider is noting that neither Randy Orton nor Erick Rowan are the likely mystery tag partner at Night of Champions. Kane and Chris Jericho are two names who have been brought up.
- With the uncertain future of TNA, there remains talk that The Hardy Boyz could make a return to WWE.
- Apparently there are some within WWE who feel Chad Gable isn't big enough to be a top guy, according to the Observer.
