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.

  • WWE will start announcing the remainder of the WWE Hall of Fame 2020 class soon.
  • Gabriel Iglesias is expected to be involved in WrestleMania 36 in some capacity, based on a schedule he recently released.
