Whispers of the Day:
- An insider from Haus of Wrestling suggests there’s a strong likelihood CM Punk will make an appearance at the upcoming Survivor Series event near Chicago.
- Insights from Fightful Select reveal that Punk may have unresolved tension with several WWE personas, suggesting reconciliations with stars like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns might be necessary for a comeback.
- Another source from Fightful hinted that Punk would be “in over his head” if he tried any antics in WWE again.
- An AEW top talent voiced doubts about Punk’s potential WWE return, citing his past public criticisms of Triple H, Vince McMahon, and the entire WWE preceding the Brawl Out event.
- BWE has tipped that post-Fastlane, WWE envisions a significant trajectory for LA Knight.
- Gossip from PW Insider is that Jade Cargill was seen in Indianapolis, Fastlane’s venue. She’s also projected to grace WWE’s Raw and SmackDown episodes the following week.
- Recent word in the WWE circuit is that the LWO angle in the previous SmackDown was orchestrated to reintroduce Carlito to the screen. This teases that Carlito could potentially partner with Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio at Fastlane.
- Wrestling Observer Newsletter commented that, due to surgery, Erik from the Viking Riders will be benched for approximately half a year. This implies a solo spotlight on Ivar in the interim.
On a lighter note from The Ryback Show, Ryback recalled wearing a white singlet for a match against the Wyatt family during a Fastlane event. He humorously remarked on its snug fit, especially around the rear. While he neither confirmed nor denied any consequential stains, he quipped that for a hefty offer on his home, he’d be willing to toss in the singlet as a bonus.
