Rumor Roundup (Aug. 24, 2017): Cena/Reigns, beach balls, Roode, Taker, 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:

• John Cena was moved to Raw not for ratings, but for fresh match-ups, according to Sports Illustrated... and specifically to put over Roman Reigns.
• Beach balls and “other inflatable items” were banned from Barclays Center on Tuesday night, and PWInsider believes the ban will be in effect for all WWE events going forward.
• There’s been talk of presenting Bobby Roode as a face on SmackDown, at least for his first feud.
• Jerry Lawler noted on his podcast that he didn’t see Undertaker at the venue for SummerSlam, and thinks he was in New York to get scanned for a new, non-2K WWE video game.
• Not clear if it’s over money or creative, but Low Ki already left Global Force. PWInsider says the company told them it was “amicable”.
