Speculating on the rumors surrounding professional wrestling is probably the favorite pastime of many fans, 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 note: Rumors are just rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, just pro wrestling rumors being spread. We track the accuracy of rumors here in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back. Remember to take everything with a grain of salt.
Rumor of the day:
WrestleTix points out that the announcement that John Cena would be competing in the Royal Rumble match led to a significant increase in Royal Rumble ticket sales. In fact, he has significantly increased ticket sales at every show he appears in. According to Fightful Select, there is only one WWE show scheduled for Saudi Arabia this year, scheduled for June in Jeddah. Jeff Hardy told Wrestle Spot that he has a new Willow mask made and ready to go, uses it for social media promotions, and hopes to return to TNA if possible. Darby Allin is expected to be away from AEW for “several months,” Fightful reported. He is preparing to climb Everest. There were some concerns that some scary injuries would occur at MLW’s Kings of Colosseum event, but a PW insider said there were “no major injuries during the show.” Mats Krugers, Charlie Bruzzese, and Satoshi Kozmir are fine. They also stated that MLW was “really pleased with the reception of Delmi Exo’s live performance at the event.”
