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:
- AEW’s television show will be announced for Turner Sports (TNT/TBS) at the Warners Media upfronts on May 15. This comes from Twitter user The Fight Oracle, which is believed to be the new account for MMA “insider” Front Row Brian.
- That report claims the show will air on Tuesdays and debut the same week SmackDown moves to Fox, which would be Oct. 1.
- AJ Styles’ injury is to his hip, PW Insider has confirmed. They say it happened when he hit the Phenomenal Forearm while Randy Orton was on the floor.
- Backstage interviewer Dasha Fuentes was released by WWE last week, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet. It was the company’s decision and not at her request, per PW Insider.
