Rumor Roundup (May 24, 2019): WWE postponing shows, Stomping Grounds matches, Aleister Black, 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:

• WWE postponed another Monday night SmackDown house show so wrestlers could be available for Raw. The speculation is the Monday house shows could be phased out altogether at some point soon.
• Advertisements seem to indicate we’ll be getting Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin, and Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre at WWE Stomping Grounds.
• According to the Observer, Aleister Black isn’t going to Super ShowDown because of his tattoos, and it wasn’t his decision, though it’s unclear if the Saudis asked that he not come or if WWE made the call.
• PW Insider notes Lio Rush is still headed for NXT.
• On an Impact podcast, Josh Mathews mentioned a new TV deal for the promotion but wouldn’t get into any specifics.
