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:
- On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted there are “a lot” of wrestlers in WWE who have straight up reached out to AEW.
- He also said the original belief was Lars Sullivan would be back on WWE television this week but his knee injury could mean he’s out for much longer.
- Also from Meltzer: While Adam Cole and Shayna Baszler are often talked about as main roster call ups, Matt Riddle isn’t expected to be moved from NXT anytime soon.
- Per the Observer, Davey Boy Smith Jr. has left New Japan but isn’t going to Ring of Honor.
- For whatever it’s worth, PW Insider says they’ve heard of some talents at Impact Wrestling being paid “a few hundred dollars by the match” on a contract but said contract doesn’t guarantee any number of matches.
