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 Fightful, Ronda Rousey was unhappy when she went backstage at WrestleMania 35, though it’s unclear exactly why.
- They also say the referee for that match, Rod Zapata, was fined for counting Rousey’s shoulders down before they were actually down.
- Ryan Satin mentioned a source telling him Dean Ambrose isn’t leaving WWE while another said he’s already setting up bookings on the independent circuit.
- For whatever it’s worth, Ambrose is still advertised for dates with WWE through the end of April.
- On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned Hiroshi Tanahashi has an elbow injury and he will be out for a while.
