Welcome to the weekly Rumor Look Again, the place we take a look at the rumors from six months in the past and see which performed out as initially said. Let’s leap proper to it.
- A WWE supply advised Haus of Wrestling it’s a “protected guess” that CM Punk shall be at subsequent month’s Survivor Sequence occasion that takes place simply exterior of Chicago.
- This was surprisingly correct, regardless that WWE and Punk each say it got here collectively final minute. (1/1)
- Per Fightful Choose, it seems like Punk nonetheless has quite a lot of warmth with folks in WWE, and the assumption is he must make issues proper with a number of prime stars like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns if he’s going to return.
- He instantly entered a feud with Rollins. He has not labored with Roman. However I’m positive he desires to work with each. In his interview, it seems like he was anticipating to return to AEW and use the actual Brawl Out occasions to make some cash and possibly likes the actual fact he can use actual warmth to generate income in WWE.
- Somebody on the WWE aspect advised Fightful that Punk is aware of he would get “his ass handed to him” if he tried to “pull any of his shit right here.”
- I feel that’s most likely correct.
- In the meantime, one AEW prime star was skeptical that Punk will return to WWE given the disparaging approach Punk talked about Triple H, Vince McMahon, and WWE previous to Brawl Out.
- I feel we have been all skeptical given his relationship with WWE prior and the way issues performed out in AEW.
- BWE indicated that WWE has massive plans for LA Knight’s push after tonight’s Fastlane premium stay occasion.

- She might have been backstage however wasn’t a part of these exhibits.
- Insider was advised by WWE sources that the LWO harm angle on final night time’s SmackDown was achieved as a option to convey Carlito again on TV after he signed with WWE over the summer season. It seems like Carlito shall be Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio’s thriller companion at Fastlane.
- The companion was Carlito. It’s form of bizarre how they haven’t actually used him since he’s been again. The LWO shall be like “Oh no we’d like a companion” however they appear to overlook that Carlito is definitely an possibility. I’m wondering if he’s the one which attacked Dragon Lee. (1/1)
- The Wrestling Observer E-newsletter notes that Erik of the Viking Riders is predicted to be out for six months following surgical procedure, so Ivar shall be pushed as a singles wrestler in the meanwhile.
- Erik remains to be out so we don’t know on his schedule. Ivar was offered as a singles wrestler. That’s good too. Usually prior, if one man received damage, the opposite man waited it out. Perhaps it is a new factor within the “Paul Levesque Period.” (1/1)
- Whereas discussing stains on The Ryback Present, The Ryback stated the one time he wore a white singlet in WWE was for a Fastlane pay-per-view match towards the Wyatt household. The Large Man went on to say, “Whoever made it, it was made somewhat snugger than the opposite ones…that one would journey up proper into my ass.” Ryback didn’t affirm or deny the existence of any associated stains on the white singlet, although he did say that if a wrestling fan provided him 5 million {dollars} to purchase his home, he would gladly depart the singlet behind for them.
- That’s some supply.
- PW Insider notes that “early artistic for the highest matches” at Crown Jewel “are already locked in.”
- It looks like Triple H has perhaps an extended highway map of issues.
- BWE is claiming the “concept of the funhouse and Wyatt6 are nonetheless on the desk.” When requested if Uncle Howdy could be taking on, they merely stated “sure.”
- There could also be one thing to this given a current Bo Dallas tease. I’m undecided a Wyatt imaginative and prescient may work and not using a robust, charismatic middle like Bray. However we might quickly see.
- Additionally they declare a “cash-in state of affairs” will kick off quickly, relating to the Cash within the Financial institution contract held by Damian Priest.
- It wasn’t that quickly. It was six months later. (0/1)
- Bryan Alvarez stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Money Wheeler is injured and he doesn’t understand how lengthy FTR shall be out of motion due to it.
- He didn’t miss any time actually.

- The assumption inside WWE is that Vince McMahon is not concerned with artistic. That from PW Insider, whose sources inform them Triple H has been “principally knighted” by Endeavor.
- The Paul Levesque Period – although Vince’s horrible allegations helped convey that alongside.
- In a follow-up Fightful Choose stories that expertise hasn’t explicitly been advised McMahon isn’t concerned, however a supply cited the broader number of expertise being featured on Uncooked & SmackDown and the way sure acts are getting distinguished spots as proof Vince isn’t calling the pictures. It was additionally identified that there have been much less late adjustments to exhibits in current weeks.
- I’m positive expertise was general happy. Working below Vince appeared chaotic at greatest.
- Whereas Fightful says there are these on the roster with an “I’ll consider it after I see it” perspective on the subject of Vince staying out of artistic for lengthy, simply the notion Triple H fairly than Vince is making the ultimate name has improved morale at WWE.
- He’s gone. It appeared like that was the decision even previous to the allegations however that closed the door on Vince in WWE for good.
- Brian Pillman, Jr. shall be getting a WWE identify earlier than he debuts on tv, and PW Insider heard that identify shall be Lexis King. WWE lately filed a trademark on “Lexis King”, which is claimed to be a tribute to ladies in Pillman, Jr.’s household.
- That’s appropriate. (1/1)
- Per Fightful, AEW secured a ten minute overrun for tonight’s Dynamite. Tony Khan additionally introduced TBS shall be airing the primary half-hour of the present commercial-free, matching what USA & WWE introduced earlier for the episode of NXT that Dynamite’s going to be competing towards.
- WWE loaded that present heavy.
- Insider says FTR’s stunning AEW Tag title loss final Saturday has nothing to do with Money Wheeler’s August arrest.
- He didn’t miss any time, however that’s still ongoing.
- Fightful Choose notes larger ups at WWE advised them and “prime expertise” that as of proper now WWE is “not presently in talks with CM Punk a couple of return.”
- That could possibly be true. It appeared prefer it got here collectively final minute.
- Nick Hausman adopted that up by saying he spoke to a supply near Punk himself “who very a lot gave me the impression the 2 sides should not engaged on his return to the corporate.” UPDATE: Extra on this here.

- He tried a rehabilitation tour.
- Bandido is predicted to be totally cleared in just a few weeks, in response to the Wrestling Observer.
- Sadly he needed another surgery and has not been again. (0/1)
- Large if true: Professional wrestling is nice enjoyable and also you don’t must cheer for one promotion over one other. A rising tide lifts all boats! Final night time dominated, and we must always hope it could actually all the time be that nice!
- Hmmm… I don’t learn about this.
- WWE is discussing having a WarGames match at Survivor Sequence once more this 12 months, in response to Fightful Choose. Proper now solely a males’s model is being thought-about, and the positioning’s supply “closely implied Judgment Day could be part of the match.”

- AEW came upon Tuesday afternoon that Jon Moxley wouldn’t be cleared for Dynamite, per Fightful.
- He was again within the ring quickly, although a couple of month till it was in AEW.
- Either side of the Tuesday Evening Conflict have been apparently tweaking their exhibits as much as and even after they began. Bodyslam.web stated it was “hectic” backstage at NXT on Oct. 10, “with segments on the present being moved round regularly.”
- They got the W they have been on the lookout for.
- Opposite to earlier stories, Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Money Wheeler isn’t damage. Every part round FTR’s stunning AEW Tag title loss final weekend on Collision is “all storyline” designed to place new champs Ricky Starks & Large Invoice “over massive”.
- That was a shocker. Additionally it aired proper towards Fastlane so not a lot of people saw it.
- Nonetheless, a Fightful Choose report claims Wheeler is “nursing injured ribs”, but it surely’s not clear he must miss any time. They add Dax Harwood pushed for the match with Starks & Invoice to occur the best way it did.
- It seems like “damage vs. not damage” even when it’s “not damage that unhealthy.” (1/2)
- Bianca Belair advised Rolling Out that “hopefully” she’ll be again on SmackDown “someday quickly”.

- Yeah, his tweets could be fairly cringe and the Taker/Cena tweet undoubtedly was.
- Per Fightful Choose, Khan doesn’t search approval from AEW PR for his tweets. It seems like some folks in AEW assume Tony wished to get consideration on his Twitter account simply as he was about to announce a number of new matches for AEW’s upcoming TV exhibits.
- Little doubt he doesn’t get permission from PR. That’s the least stunning factor.
- Karrion Kross advised Chris Van Vliet that he and Bray Wyatt have been “slated to do one thing” collectively this 12 months at WrestleMania 39, and just some writers and workplace folks knew about it. Kross talked about it “for hours” with Wyatt, and a few of their concepts included Alexa Bliss, Scarlett Bordeaux, and Bo Dallas.
- It looks like it was undoubtedly Wyatt & Lashley earlier than the match wanted to be nixed. However perhaps this was a plan prior? Perhaps this was the place they have been going to disclose the Wyatt6?
- On the Speak is Jericho podcast, Adam “Edge” Copeland stated WWE’s unique plan for The Judgment Day was for the group to activate him about one 12 months after Finn Balor joined. Copeland came upon at Hell in a Cell 2022 that plans modified and The Judgment Day was truly going to activate him the very subsequent night time on Uncooked, on the identical night time that Finn was set to affix the group.
- That was undoubtedly rushed.
- Fightful heard from sources near Rey Fenix that he shall be off AEW TV for some time attributable to visa points. That’s why AEW had him drop the Worldwide championship to Orange Cassidy on this week’s Dynamite.
- I feel he might have been banged up but it surely may simply be he’s in a perpetual state of banged up.
- TNT community’s tv schedule signifies that AEW Battle of the Belts VIII will happen on Sat., Oct. 21, at 10 pm ET, instantly following AEW Collision.
