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:

  • For what it’s worth, Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that a potential The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes match wouldn’t happen any time before WrestleMania 41, and could already be planned for that show.
  • PW Insider claims the Jade Cargill match on Raw this week was originally scheduled for the first hour but was pushed back due to the Rock/Rhodes segment running long.
  • Fightful Select notes that while WWE is now airing Sheamus return promos, he may not be back until the Draft late this month.
  • Damian Priest recently signed a deal to be represented by Paradigm, a talent agency, for “representation in all areas,” says Variety.
