Rumor Roundup (June 22, 2020): Matt Riddle, SmackDown hacker, Forgotten Sons, 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:

• On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said nothing has come out about Matt Riddle that WWE hasn’t known about for years now. He speculates that the latest allegations won’t make a difference in his push based on the company having prior knowledge but that is subject to change.
• With Ali being shifted over to Monday Night Raw, the speculation is the anonymous SmackDown hacker storyline has been dropped completely.
• The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro are replacing The Forgotten Sons in a program with The New Day.
• PW Insider says they’ve asked WWE about the future of Total Divas and received no response. The obvious speculation is the future of the show is up in the air.
• According to Insider, it’s looking like Joey Ryan is done with Impact after multiple allegations of misconduct on social media recently.
