Speculating about the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favorite pastime for many fans, perhaps even more important than watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors from the pro wrestling rumor mill.

Important note: Rumors are just that – rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating in the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track the veracity of the rumors in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back, which you can find here. Remember to take everything with caution.

Rumors for this day:

• Regarding Kairi Sane’s return to WWE, PW Insider says some WWE wrestlers have heard that she could be back at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia today.
• BWE said “that’s true” in response to a rumor suggesting that WWE has planned a Miz TV segment for Crown Jewel that will feature Grayson Waller and a local celebrity. Insider notes that Waller will no longer be advertised for WWE house shows in the United States this weekend, and F4WOnline confirmed that he is currently in Saudi Arabia.
• According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE star Dragon Lee “signed his new contract with the main roster last week.” It looks like the risk he took was worth it when he passed on bigger money from AEW to sign with NXT last year.
• The Observer also says that Ric Flair’s artist contract with AEW is for two years. Flair had previously attempted to strike a deal with WWE for Wooooo! to complete. Energy, but WWE “already had an energy drink deal in place.”
• According to Fightful Select, Bryan Danielson has been telling people that his broken orbital bone was the result of a freak accident. Danielson says he suffered a stray elbow or forearm during a simple collar-elbow tie-up with Andrade.
• Marty Jannetty told WrestlingNews.co’s Steve Fall that Hulk Hogan once threw a wild party that included a gumball machine full of mixed drugs: “…you spun it and took whatever came out…it’s right there when you walk through the front door, and just [turn it]and three, four, five pills just fall out.”
