Rumor Roundup: Backstage Notes On Mansoor’s Winning Streak, Bo Dallas’ Release, More

3) What WWE Originally Had Planned For Henry Cejudo

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE wanted Henry Cejudo to become the next Rey Mysterio. This is something that Henry declined.

Here is what Meltzer said:

“You know when he got the gold medal in the Olympics, Gerald Brisco recruited him, you know they wanted him to be the next Rey Mysterio and he wanted — at that time — he wanted to do real stuff. So, he started in MMA.”

My Take:

  • I would have liked to see Cejudo in WWE. He is super talented but probably would have turned out more like ‘Shorty G’, rather than Rey Mysterio.

2) New WWE Trademark

WWE has recently filed to trademark the term “IN-DEX”. This was for both “Entertainment Services” and merchandise.

Obvious speculation is that this will be related to Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis, who are currently involved in a romantic storyline on NXT TV.

My Take:

  • This gives off the hint that WWE could have long term plans for the pairing of Indi and Dexter. I am interested to see what happens over these next several months.
