Rumor Roundup (Dec. 1, 2016): Reigns title plans, WWE ‘raiding’ Ring of Honor, Trump/McMahon, more!

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:

• WWE may be planning to have Roman Reigns defeat Kevin Owens at Roadblock so he can use the Universal and United States titles to proclaim himself a “double champ” like Conor McGregor was for a short-time before UFC took his featherweight strap.
• There’s a report flying around that WWE is planning to “raid” Ring of Honor (ROH) in early 2017. The Young Bucks are said to be the top target.
• Pro Wrestling Sheet says ROH recently offered the Bucks a bigger, multi-year deal to replace the one which expires on Dec. 31st, but Matt & Nick Jackson are deciding whether they’ll sign it (and probably teasing that decision out on Twitter for a month like last year).
• Former WWE C.E.O. Linda McMahon did not get the Commerce Secretary gig from President-elect Donald Trump which had been rumored, but after a meeting with the WWE Hall of Famer in New York yesterday, she’s considered the front-runner to head the Small Business Administration in his cabinet.
• Alberto El Patron missed a What Culture Pro Wrestling show in the United Kingdom yesterday. Unlike his notorious missed Mexico event in October, this time he and fiance Paige Instagrammed a video explaining they were canceling due to airline troubles.
