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:

  • At this point, it's considered more likely Undertaker will wrestle at SummerSlam than John Cena.
  • Despite what Ric Flair said over the weekend, sources tell Wrestling Inc Ronda Rousey is signed to a multi-year WWE contract.
  • Speculation from Wrestling Observer Live and elsewhere is that Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks will be the focus of a bidding war between WWE and New Japan when their current contracts expire.
  • Nixon Newell, now known as Tegan Nox in NXT, injured her knee over the weekend at Download. Good news is it's reportedly “minor”.
