Rumor Roundup (June 9, 2020): Cole & Dream’s NXT status, Greatest Match Ever, WWE title re-designs, 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:

• Not so fast on the Adam Cole to AEW speculation. PW Insider says Cole’s NXT contract runs another 18 months.
• Velveteen Dream was discussed as a potential main roster call-up, says WrestleTalk’s Louis Dangoor, but WWE and NXT officials decided to keep him in NXT for now.
• Dangoor’s sources also told him Paul Heyman had big plans for Jinder Mahal before Mahal was sidelined by another knee surgery. They included a shot at WWE champ Drew McIntyre.
• Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer believes Edge & Randy Orton’s Backlash match was filmed in advance so there was time for re-shoots and editing to give it a chance to live up to its billing as “The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever”.
• WWE could have more new look titles coming soon, according to Wrestling Inc. The site mentioned larger NXT championship and a re-designed United States championship.
