8 Of The Biggest WWE Rumors Of The Week (January 5, 2019)

6) Some WWE Belts Could Be Getting Re-Designed

To finish off the belt rumors, there is one floating around that suggests a few current WWE belts could be getting a re-design.

Here is a quote from Belt Fan Dan (who has broken some belt-related stories in the past):

“I was also told that both Raw and Smackdown tag belts will be changed to have removable team side plates which I also reported over a year ago when the idea was brought up. This was also proposed for the United States belt.”


This would make a lot of sense for WWE to sell more merchandise. I could see this happening pretty soon.

5) It Is A Good Time To Sign A WWE Developmental Deal

A rumor making the rounds is that WWE has been offering some big money to try and sign talent to developmental deals.

Here is a quote from Dave Meltzer, who cites an unnamed wrestler who was recently offered some big money to join NXT:

“I think there are going to be some interesting ones. Nothing that hasn’t been rumored, and imminently. But there’s also an instance of someone who is under contract to a company, they’re going to be out of contract with the company in a couple of months. WWE, and another company, and maybe even two other companies, were involved in being interested [negotiations] in this person. And this would be a developmental deal [for WWE NXT] but I will say that the developmental money compared to others that WWE has offered was way, way higher. Multiples. Because the business has changed so much, and because of everything that’s going on,”

Looks like it is a good time to be a free agent.
