Rumor Roundup (Oct. 23, 2018): Raw turns, Crown Jewel status, Bliss & Mysterio absences, Taker schedule, 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. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.

Rumors for the Day:

• As you’d expect, Braun Strowman and Elias’ babyface turns on Raw were to account for losing Roman Reigns from the roster for now and Dean Ambrose going heel.
• The Saudi ticket website handling local tickets for Crown Jewel has been telling fans “that WWE has not confirmed to them that the show will go on,” per Wrestling Observer.
• Word is Alexa Bliss was injured on Saturday night in Hartford, but it’s not clear if she broke her nose (as some Twitter accounts claim) or suffered a concussion (as Wrestling Observer says they heard, but could not confirm). No word on her status for Sunday.
• Rey Mysterio, on the other hand, is not injured. Multiple sources said his being taken off the house show circuit after Saturday’s event was just described to them as a change of plans.
• Undertaker and Kane will be at Raw next Monday in Charlotte, says PW Insider.
