Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) The Original Plans For Sasha & Bayley
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE was originally planning to split up Sasha Banks and Bayley much sooner.
WWE decided to keep pushing their split back because of how great of a heel duo that they were.
My Take:
- Sasha and Bayley did make a great heel duo. I am glad though that we are finally getting Sasha vs Bayley and I am sure that they will tear down the house at Hell in a Cell.
4) More On A Possible WWE U.K PPV
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer confirmed earlier rumors that WWE was looking to do a PPV event in the United Kingdom. This was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This PPV event would have been headlined by Drew McIntyre vs Tyson Fury for the WWE Championship. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
WWE was apparently looking at doing a U.K. PPV which would have been headlined by McIntyre vs. Tyson Fury, but they aren’t able to do it at this time. Both WWE and AEW were in a race for the first U.K. PPV in years as AEW had planned for something big this year as well. The idea of the match isn’t dead but they have to work based on Fury’s schedule
My Take:
- I definitely feel bad for McIntyre as that would have been massive for him in terms of mainstream notoriety. I also still hope that a UK PPV event happens as those fans deserve it (when full crowds are able to return).
