Speculating about whispers within the world of pro wrestling ranks highly among fan activities, likely just after viewing the actual matches. This column provides a daily snapshot of the freshest rumors emanating from the pro wrestling grapevine.
Rumors of the Day:
- Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer Live has come across various sentiments implying, “Tony [Khan] should focus less on his phone and tweeting” from individuals in both WWE and AEW. Apparently, numerous individuals within AEW didn’t find Khan’s joke tweet about John Cena and the Undertaker amusing.
- According to Fightful Select, Khan typically doesn’t consult AEW’s PR team before tweeting. This suggests that some within AEW perceive Tony’s tweets as an attempt to boost his Twitter profile, especially right before revealing several matches for AEW’s future broadcasts.
- In a conversation with Chris Van Vliet, Karrion Kross revealed that he was in talks with Bray Wyatt to collaborate at WrestleMania 39 this year. This was confidential information known only to a select few. The duo brainstormed for hours, incorporating potential ideas with Alexa Bliss, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Bo Dallas.
- On the Talk is Jericho podcast, Adam “Edge” Copeland shared that WWE’s initial vision for The Judgment Day involved the group betraying him approximately a year after Finn Balor’s entry. The curveball came during Hell in a Cell 2022 when Copeland learned of an imminent twist: The Judgment Day’s betrayal would take place the very next evening on Raw, the same evening Finn was anticipated to join the faction.
- Fightful received information from sources close to Rey Fenix indicating his absence from AEW TV for an extended period due to visa complications. This is reportedly the reason behind Fenix relinquishing the International championship to Orange Cassidy in the recent Dynamite episode.
- The TNT network’s TV schedule hints that AEW Battle of the Belts VIII is scheduled for Sat., Oct. 21, at 10 pm ET, right after AEW Collision.
