WWE’s Instagram

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:

  • Vince McMahon loved the Bobby Lashley/Lana arrest angle on Monday’s Raw, and everything about the program, a source told WrestlingNews.co. They were also told the segments will continue as long as they continue to do above average numbers.
  • That site also heard Cedric Alexander is well-liked backstage, but that Vince “cooled off” on him. That explains his booking over the past couple months, and could tie in to this September rumor.
  • Marty Scurll to AEW isn’t a done deal, says Twitter’s rovert. ROH’s offer is allegedly “massive”. Tony Khan regrets some past big money deals and isn’t offering big money right now.
  • Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Snowden tweeted he was told by Brandi Rhodes that Kris Statlander has signed with AEW.
  • According to Squared Circle Sirens, Russian MMA fighter Lainey Nations and Steven Seagal & Kelly LeBrock’s daughter Arissa LeBrock are taking part in this week’s WWE tryouts at the Performance Center.
