Rumor Roundup (June 9, 2021): Daniel Bryan decision, Big E update, Jaxson Ryker, 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:

• Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Total Bellas, and it likely ending soon, has not been a factor in whatever Daniel Bryan decides to do with his career going forward.
• Ringside News claims Big E wasn’t on SmackDown this past week because Vince McMahon hasn’t decided what to do with him after Aleister Black’s release.
• If it wasn’t already clear, PW Insider notes they were told Jaxson Ryker will be a babyface going forward.
• Billy Corgan said on Talk is Jericho that NWA was offered to WWE and declined to purchase it.
• The Observer estimates that the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight did 600-650K buys on PPV in the US, though that doesn’t include streaming numbers or anything international.
