Rumor Roundup (Sept. 4, 2020): Brock Lesnar’s future, NXT TakeOver schedule, All Out cinematic match, 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 mentioned that Brock Lesnar has not put himself in the USADA testing pool, which means he’s not interested in returning to UFC.
• Meltzer also notes that WWE is contemplating “cutting way back” on house shows when things return to normal.
• Tony Khan revealed the All Out pre-show bout of Big Swole vs. Britt Baker will be a cinematic match. Meltzer indicates it will take place at Baker’s dental office.
