Many pro wrestling fans like speculating about the gossip around the sport, probably second only to actually watching the contests. This daily piece examines the most recent rumours coming out of the pro wrestling rumour mill.
We must always keep in mind that rumours are just that: hearsay. All of this is simply conjecture that is going around the pro wrestling rumour mill; nothing has been proven as true. In a weekly article called Rumor Look Back, which you can see here, we track rumour veracity. Keep in mind to take everything with a grain of salt.
Rumor of the Day: According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW’s investigation into the post-All Out brawl has stopped because of “threatening legal action” and one person’s refusal to cooperate. Ace Steel included hasn’t been fired as a result. There is currently no deadline for anyone to come back.
One insider informed the WON that Sammy Guevara was not disciplined because Chris Jericho defended him and insisted there was no wrongdoing in their backstage altercation. This source said that there was a “double standard” at play because The Elite didn’t engage in physical altercation with CM Punk but were still punished.
Andrade “hid in the corridor,” according to a source who spoke to the Observer, waiting to surprise Sammy from behind.
Elektra Lopez was removed from Legado Del Fantasma by WWE, according to PW Insider, no sooner than Wednesday. Her original intention was to join the gang on SmackDown this week, but with Zelina Vega’s return to WWE, those plans have definitely changed.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Daniel Cormier has not agreed to any WWE dates in addition to tonight’s Extreme Rules match.
Ronda Rousey revealed she wanted to use Legos in her Extreme Rules fight against Liv Morgan this week on a YouTube gaming stream, but “apparently, AEW did it lately and we didn’t want people to think we’re copying,” she said.
According to an insider, Becky Lynch was backstage at Raw this week, which has raised the possibility that she is healing from her injuries faster than expected.
