WWE

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:

  • There’s speculation that Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax will be missing house shows this weekend to work on their match at TLC.
  • Take this for what it’s worth but Becky Lynch mentioned on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show that the WWE locker room had past resentment toward Ronda Rousey for her big push upcoming coming in.
  • On Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez mentioned there is a belief within WWE that they are going to turn things around in January. There’s apparently some big idea.

  • In addition, there is talk that Tucker was released from the WWE UK roster.
