Rumor Roundup (May 19, 2016): AJ Styles plans, Seth Rollins return, Stephanie McMahon book, 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:

• The Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles match at Extreme Rules is expected to be the last match in their feud, at least on pay-per-view. It's at least possible that the direction going forward will be Styles opposite Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and that's how they transition out of it.

• It looks likely Seth Rollins will be a heel when he returns to WWE television.

• There's some speculation that the reason Stephanie McMahon has been playing babyface more on WWE television of late is because of her recently announced book deal.

• According to the Observer, Steve Lombardi, better known as Brooklyn Brawler, was released by WWE at least partially due to a "small mistake he made that gave them cause for letting him go." Whatever that means.

• Pro Wrestling Sheet reported Alex Reyes believes he was released by WWE at least in part because of how much of a wrestling fan he is.
