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 Observer, Ronda Rousey wanted Becky Lynch to hit her as hard as she could during the angle at Elimination Chamber, so that’s what happened.
- Speaking of Lynch, PW Insider says she will be at Monday Night Raw next week for Ric Flair’s birthday celebration episode.
- There was a big push to make sure Undertaker gets on the card at WrestleMania 35 after it was announced he’s doing Starrcast, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
- John Cena is still expected to wrestle at WrestleMania 35, it’s just not clear who his opponent will be.
- On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned “there is a front runner” for the AEW TV deal but they likely wouldn’t do big numbers on it from the start if they go to that network.
