Rumor Roundup (Jan. 31, 2022): WWE title plans, Roman Reigns, Bella Twins’ future, 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:

• WrestleVotes says WWE “legitimately has no idea what the WWE title match at WrestleMania is going to be at this point.”
• On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said WWE had Roman Reigns do the post-match chair beatdown on Seth Rollins so they would boo him instead of booing the match finish.
• PW Insider says there’s a belief that “we’d probably see more with Nikki and Brie Bella for WrestleMania 38.”
• The Observer notes there were a lot of former wrestlers who were called to work the Royal Rumble matches and turned it down.
• Bryan Alvarez mentions Kofi Kingston wasn’t supposed to be eliminated when he was, and there were spots planned with Big E later in the match.
