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:

- Fightful Select notes there was at least some frustration among officials at NXT that WWE booked The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team title match for Raw the week after a planned defense in NXT.
- On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said AEW Revolution is likely going to end up at between 170,000-176,000 pay-per-view buys.
