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:

• In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s noted “the feeling” is Triple H is going to get more power within WWE due to the XFL starting up again and he’s been starting to put a team in place for NXT, which helps explain the Jeremy Borash hiring.
• The obvious speculation is Finn Balor will win the Fatal 4-Way second chance Elimination Chamber spot while Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy will continue their feud.
