Rumor Roundup (Oct. 29, 2018): Cody future, Braun turn, Cena replacement, Crown Jewel, 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:

• On Chris Jericho’s cruise, WrestlingNews.Co reports Cody Rhodes cut a promo after his match with Delirious claiming he won’t sign with WWE and plans to do everything in his power to make ALL IN 2 happen.
• It seems Dean Ambrose’s heel turn might not have been the only thing sped up by Roman Reigns leaving WWE to resume his leukemia fight. Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims there were no definite plans to turn Braun Strowman face before last Monday, and he was supposed to be a heel at Crown Jewel.
