Rumor Roundup: Eva Marie return, NXT pay, Raw stoppage, more!
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:
- Sources in WWE creative tell Ringside News there’s been no mention of Eva Marie and therefore no plans for her return angle. Reports from September said Eva had re-signed with the company.
- During an appearance on Dan Matha’s Spark in the Dark podcast (H/T Post Wrestling) former NXT wrestler Cezar Bononi said he made $600 – $750 per week on his developmental contract. He also claimed WWE “never wanted to help” him get his Green Card.
- PW Insider says there’s been a “renewed push” for WWE referees to enforce rules and call matches as if they were real.
- The double countout and restart of the Hurt Business vs. New Day match on Raw this week happened because of that. According to Wrestling Observer Live, Kofi Kingston & Shelton Benjamin botched their spot and couldn’t make the ten count.
- Fit Finlay and Shane “Hurricane” Helms have returned to work at WWE as producers, per PW Insider. Both were among those furloughed in April.
