Speculating on the rumors surrounding professional wrestling is a favorite pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors coming out of 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 the accuracy of rumors in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back, which you can find here. Remember: take it all with a grain of salt.
