WWE.com

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:

  • There was a COVID-19 outbreak within NXT recently, reports Jon Alba. It apparently resulted in changes to creative plans.
  • The positive COVID tests were confirmed by Fightful Select, which added it happened in the last couple weeks and led to several Performance Center classes being canceled.
  • Dave Meltzer wrote in last week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that one reason Clash of Champions WWE title match is an ambulance match is so WWE can “protect McIntyre from taking a pin while getting the title off him.”
  • PW Insider and Wrestling Observer Live’s Bryan Alvarez disputed reports shoot strikes were thrown in last week’s Thunder Rosa/Ivelisse match on Dynamite.
  • Robert Roode is set to return to Raw “within the next week or two” per WrestleVotes.
