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 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.

- While there had been some speculation of it, Dave Meltzer also said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Velveteen Dream is not being called up to the main roster anytime soon.
- He also mentioned that whatever happens with Asuka and Nia Jax, Charlotte is next in line for the Raw women’s championship.
- Erick Rowan mentioned to The Lewis Nicholls Show that he pitched WWE on giving him a split personality character but they never went for it, and later gave it to Bray Wyatt.
