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:

  • Wrestling Observer notes WWE is working to plant seeds for a possible Roman Reigns vs. Undertaker match at SummerSlam. It’s not confirmed, but it’s what the company wants fans to think.
  • Daniel Bryan’s return to SmackDown will also feature a major SummerSlam announcement, says The Observer.
  • Both of those rumors are because WWE wants the August PPV to be huge, to the point of acknowledging they’ve been coasting, but “the big stuff starts to happen soon”.
  • John Cena’s expected to have more creative freedom than ever for his upcoming run as a “free agent” per Sportskeeda, and has expressed an interest in working with younger stars.
  • In an interview with Hindustan Times, Becky Lynch let slip that MMA fighter & indie wrestler Shayna Bazler is set to be announced for the Mae Young Classic.
