Rumor Roundup (Aug. 9, 2019): SummerSlam changes, women’s tag team titles, AEW PPVs, 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.

• Per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there have been many changes made to the SummerSlam card over the past week, with much of it playing out on Raw and SmackDown.
• That includes Paul Heyman apparently making the decision to do the women’s tag team title change on Raw, and a Sami Zayn vs. Aleister Black moving up.
• There could be further changes coming to the SummerSlam card and, in fact, the Observer notes those changes are “likely.”
