Rumor Roundup: Aleister Black’s Future, WWE Passed On Signing AEW Wrestler, More

3) Seth Rollins Taking Some Time Off From WWE

The expectation is that Seth Rollins will be taking some time off WWE television soon. This is because his fiance, Becky Lynch, is due to give birth next month.

The rumor going around is that Seth will be taking some time off from the company after Survivor Series. Seth is scheduled to be a member of Team Smackdown at the event but he will likely be finished after that.

My Take:

  • Seth has been great over these past several months. I hope that this break gets him away from the Mysterio family and he can move on to a new feud.

2) Impact Stars Heading To NXT

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, ‘The Rascalz’ from IMPACT Wrestling will likely be heading to NXT.

Here is what Meltzer wrote about the situation:

Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel have deals that have just expired and will be finishing up with next week’s television show with a match with Rich Swann & Miguel. On the TV show this week, they handled it very strangely. They got a letter they were being evicted form the tree house next week and thus, somehow, must leave Impact so next week’s TV is their final match. The way we heard the story is they got an offer that wasn’t great and they have had interest from WWE for NXT for all three. The belief is they are headed to NXT and will be part of the loaded next class that looks right now to also include Alex Zayne and Benjamin Carter. Miguel has been talked about for NXT but others close to the situation say that either NXT or AEW is still a possibility

My Take:

  • They will be solid additions to NXT if it happens. The NXT roster always finds a way to bring in good talent.
