Rumor Roundup: WWE Employees Given Stock Awards, Post-WWE Update On Lars Sullivan, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) NXT Locker Room Was Very Concerned About Kyle O’Reilly

There was a scary moment after this week’s episode of NXT. A rumor spread that Kyle O’Reilly may have suffered a seizure, which is why he was taken away on a stretcher. This turned out to be a work and he did NOT suffer any medical issue.

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), the NXT locker room was legitimately concerned about O’Reilly based on his medical history:

Considering O’Reilly’s history with diabetes, this caused a lot of concern among even the NXT roster, who weren’t sure if the situation was real or not.

My Take:

  • Looks like they even worked the locker room with this. I am just relieved to hear that Kyle is fine.

4) Post-WWE Update On Lars Sullivan

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lars Sullivan is getting into boxing. This comes after he was released by WWE a few weeks ago.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

Dylan Miley, the former Lars Sullivan, is now doing boxing training with the idea of working for one of the Bare Knuckle promotions. He’s 32, which is old to start boxing training. Also, you don’t see a lot of 330 pound boxers or MMA fighters. The story is that he has no illusions about his age being a factor and just starting out, but is planning on competing in that sport

My Take:

  • I wish Lars the best of luck. It will be an uphill battle but you never know.
