Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) The Changed Plans For Rey Mysterio On RAW
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rey Mysterio and Dominick were originally supposed to appear (live) on this week’s episode of RAW. Instead, they ended up doing their segment from home.
Austin Theory and Randy Orton were two other big absences, leading to questions about their statuses. Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to Ringside News):
“Rey Mysterio and Dominik were scheduled to be on the show, but they actually did a segment from home. Austin Theory was not there. Of the main characters those are the ones I noticed. No Randy Orton, obviously. I don’t know what that means. I guess in a sense he’s the biggest one. Maybe if he’s not on next week and on the next week it could tell you something. Not all of these absences are COVID-19 positives that I just named like Natalya who wasn’t, but some of them were.”
My Take:
- That is one thing that WWE deserves praise for. They are usually pretty good at adapting on the fly and changing up their storylines when forced to. I thought that the Rollins segment was solid this week, despite missing Mysterio, Dominick, and Austin Theory.
4) Vince McMahon’s Net Worth Rises
According to the Middleton Press, Vince McMahon’s net worth has recently grown from $1.8 billion to $1.977 billion.
This (nearly 10%) increase came over the past few months during the COVID-19 pandemic.
My Take:
- This is actually surprising to me since the XFL shut down and WWE is in the middle of dealing with a Global pandemic. I definitely thought that Vince’s net worth would have dropped instead of risen.
