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:

  • Per the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there’s apparently been at least some talk of Brock Lesnar showing up at UFC 226 on July 7 and challenging the winner of the Stipe Miocic vs. Daniel Cormier fight.
  • To expand on previous word that WWE is “very upset” about Ring of Honor running Madison Square Garden, the Observer is saying WWE is “doing everything possible to block it.”
  • Lana mentioned on her Instagram that Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan are helping her prepare for the Money in the Bank ladder match.
  • The Observer notes that WWE will have a new show on FS1 that will be a replacement for UFC Tonight.
