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:
- According to Jon Alba of The Takedown on SI, there have been discussions regarding TNA moving to a WWE affiliated network and moving to Wednesday night to go head-to-head against AEW Dynamite. The CW apparently has legitimate interest.
- Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that if WWE views a talent as “marginal,” they will go into contract negotiations differently. They’ll typically wait until the last minute and then make an offer with a short time frame to take it or leave it. That’s how Karrion Kross was treated. In the case of the stars, they try to sign them six months ahead of time.
- Per WrestleVotes, NBC wants John Cena’s last match to air on Dec. 13, despite previous rumored talk of moving it to Dec. 27 to compete with AEW. The network apparently has an NFL commitment that night and doesn’t want to compete with its own programming.
- WrestleVotes Radio says CM Punk has been invited to the UFC 319 event on Aug. 16, though it’s unclear if he will have a role in the broadcast itself.
- They also say WWE is considering a redesign for the AAA logo, with the hope of giving it a fresh new look.
- What’s more, Omos could be making his AAA debut this weekend at Triplemania.
- HOOK is under a long term deal with AEW, says Fightful Select. He apparently signed in 2024 for multiple years.
