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:
- PW Insider is reporting that Paul Heyman will be with Brock Lesnar at Raw tonight. It's expected that he'll be with Brock for all of his appearances going forward, contract resolved or not.
- There's been more talk of Alberto Del Rio having an out clause in his contract, according to the Observer. He may be able to leave in September but the thought is he will stay.
- It looks like Braun Strowman may continue to win squash matches to build him up in the coming weeks.
- According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Roderick Strong is almost certainly going to WWE.
- Lashley was pulled from some bookings in Mexico & Puerto Rico, reportedly because with his new contract, TNA controls his outside appearances and significantly raised his price (and with it, their percentage).
