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:

  • According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Corey Graves saw his tweets criticizing Mauro Ranallo as part of the Survivor Series “brand warfare” and was going to bring them up “in a joking manner” while working with Ranallo on the PPV.
  • WWE found out Ranallo wouldn’t be working this week’s NXT on Tuesday, per PW Insider.
  • Before Survivor Series, WrestlingNews.co said their sources told them Vince McMahon was “a fan of Keith Lee & Matt Riddle”. Coming out of Sunday’s show, the site reports backstage was buzzing about Lee in particular.
  • PW Insider says Bobby Fish was pulled from last night’s NXT Tag Title match because officials were concerned he’d been “hurt or knocked for a loop”, but he was walking around backstage after the show and seemed to be okay.
  • DVR numbers for NXT and Dynamite are “shockingly good”, says Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, which mean a lot more people are watching Wednesday night wrestling than the next day ratings indicate.
