Rumor Roundup (May 16, 2019): Triple H/Vince tension, Andrade push, AEW PPV plans, Silver King, more!

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:

• Take this with a few extra grains of salt, but a caller to PW Torch’s Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-Show claiming to be friends with three WWE writers said, “The most frustrated person in the back every single night is Triple H.”
• WrestlingNews.co had that story, along with another instance of Trips liking (then unliking) a fan tweet which was critical of Vince McMahon.
• Andrade has a lot of backing in WWE right now, according to Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer. He says Andrade will continue to feud with Finn Balor for the Intercontinental title after Money in the Bank.
• Meltzer also reported that AEW plans to hold some of their PPVs in the UK to cultivate their market there.
• The Observer said that following Silver King’s death at a show in London last weekend, MLW and AEW plan to have their referees trained in CPR.
