Rumor Roundup (June 15, 2020): Styles issue with Heyman, Edge/Orton, roster plans, 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 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:

• Twitter’s rovert says he heard from multiple sources that “AJ Styles had a horrible time on Raw.” Styles allegedly didn’t get along with Paul Heyman and didn’t like the locker room making fun of his politics & conspiracy theories.
• On F4WOnline’s The Board, Dave Meltzer wrote that Styles was “furious” with Heyman that Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson were released. It was Vince McMahon’s call, but AJ probably thought Heyman could have fought harder for his friends.
• Edge and Randy Orton’s rematch was originally planned for SummerSlam but moved up due to WWE’s current lack of star power, per Sportskeeda’s Gary Cassidy.
• Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that combining the Raw and SmackDown rosters into “one troupe” is something that’s “been talked about”.
• Evolve is in major financial trouble and may be looking to sell “pretty much everything” to WWE, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
