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 Observer notes that NXT is likely going to be raided for the WWE draft, so we should expect plenty of call ups.
- That said, it's expected NXT will have some big debuts again soon and the likes of Bobby Roode and Eric Young should become regulars.
- There's a rumor going around, started by WrestleChat.net, that USA Network has shown interest in adding a third hour to SmackDown. But maybe not. But who knows.
- There are apparently going to be some big surprises in the Cruiserweight Classic and WWE is holding them back as long as possible.
- Hideo Itami's return is likely coming very soon, according to the Observer, and they just have to come up with creative for him to write him back into the show.
