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:
- As far as the rumored Bad Bunny vs. Logan Paul tag team match in WWE is concerned, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter was told “there is no match on the books between them right now.” It’s expected to happen at some point, but “it is not scheduled anytime in the near future.”
- The Observer indicates that injured WWE stars Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker are “rehabbing their asses off” to return as soon as possible.
- On his WWE farewell vlog, AJ Styles said he originally planned to retire last year at WrestleMania 41, but plans changed after he suffered a major injury. He then decided to retire at the same event where he made his WWE debut in 2016, the Royal Rumble.
- Liv Morgan told Going Ringside that the real reason why she cried when Stephanie Vaquer yelled at her on Raw is because “a huge piece of dust flew into my eye.”
- F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer mentioned that Kenny Omega is “trying to make a deal” where he can leave his Capcom commitment in Japan on March 14 so that he can make an appearance at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view the next night in Los Angeles. He likely won’t be booked for a match or advertised for an appearance at Revolution, just in case he can’t make it.
- Meltzer also claims that if Chris Jericho does return to WWE, it will be “on a day when people don’t expect him there.” This was part of Meltzer’s response to a question about whether or not WWE wants fans to think Jericho is inside the mystery crate that will be opened at Elimination Chamber.
- Fightful Select heard that WWE has been in contact with free agent David Finlay, but he is not “factored in to creative plans” right now.
- WWE has filed for trademarks on the names Romeo Moreno, CJ Valor, and Santi Rivera.
