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:
- WrestleVotes notes that Ron Killings will be referred to by his real name on television but also still be known as R-Truth, so that name is not going away altogether. That’s why commentary was using both names on SmackDown this past week.
- For whatever it’s worth, Nikki Bella claimed on her podcast that she turned down a private locker room from WWE when she returned to Raw last week.
- According to Fightful Select, Damage CTRL was quietly disbanded back in May and commentators have been told not to refer to any of the members as part of a faction.
- They also say WWE has some interest in signing Private Party once they’ve finished up with AEW.
- Per Wrestling Observer Live, Komander is “going to be out for a long time.”
