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:
- For their match at Crown Jewel today, Natalya and Lacey Evans will be wearing full body suits similar to the ones Sasha Banks & Alexa Bliss wore for their 2017 match in Abu Dhabi.
- That’s according to a sources of Tony Maglio at The Wrap, who also said Evans and Natalya were chosen “because they can do the match with no potential cultural backlash.”
- Ric Flair telling Corey Graves on After The Bell that he’s medically cleared for action started some speculation he might take a bump at Crown Jewel, but there are thankfully no plans for that.
- World Cup winner Shane McMahon was spotted in Riyadh ahead of today’s show.
- Sticking with the Middle East, Bill Apter reported Eric Bischoff’s next gig will be as General Manager for QPW in Qatar. The deal is just for one show, but they’re talking about a two year contract.
