Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favorite pastime of many fans, perhaps the second most popular pastime after 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 – rumours. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating in the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track the accuracy of rumors in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back, which can be found here. Remember, take everything with a grain of salt.
Rumors of the day:
- Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that there was a miscommunication between Liv Morgan and the others in the six pack challenge that made the barricade jump onto the table seat look bad. Apparently there was a change of plan that she wasn’t aware of.
PW Insider has heard Tommaso Ciampa won’t be returning from his most recent injury until next year.
- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter says NXT’s Tiffany Stratton should be back on TV “in a few weeks”. She was reportedly traveling with a head injury.
- WON on Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul on Crown Jewel: “An unsung hero of the game was Drew Gulak. WWE sent Paul a ring to Puerto Rico to train with and sent Gulak as his personal trainer. He came to the performance center and trained some with Shawn Michaels, they shot it with them and promoted that aspect, most of the training was done by Gulak.”
- FTR will work on New Japan Wrestle Kingdom 17, Dave Meltzer have learned. He thinks other AEW talent will be working on the show, but can’t confirm that. Scheduling is a problem as the Tokyo Dome Show always takes place on January 4th, which falls on a Wednesday in 2023.
