Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Braun Strowman’s Status
Over the past week, there have been a lot of rumors about Braun Strowman. There were some rumors that suggested Braun could be facing Drew McIntyre at TLC. There were also some rumors that suggested Braun might be injured.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Braun does have a knee injury and the feeling is that he won’t be at TLC. Here is what he said (h/t to WrestlingNews.co for the quote below):
“So Braun Strowman does have a knee injury because he’s being treated for it. I don’t know the severity of it. The impression I have is that he is not going to be at TLC, so I think the three-way is going to be for the spot, but I don’t know that 100%. I don’t think anyone knows anything anyway. From what someone told me, the writing team still thinks it’s Strowman, that could be wrong. As of Monday, I had heard that part”
My Take:
- If he is not seriously injured, I could see WWE doing Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre at a later date. Maybe the Royal Rumble PPV or something. That seems like a match that WWE will definitely be building towards over these next several months.
4) WWE Rejected A Character Change For Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan was recently interviewed by Fox Sports. During this, Liv revealed that WWE rejected her pitch to turn her into a darker character.
Here is what she said:
I basically wanted to use the experiences I’ve gone through, the struggles of my childhood and kind of use the character that I was trying to create as an outlet to express the darker feelings that I was feeling. The more sad emotions that I was feeling.
So, I wanted to use this character as an outlet to express, maybe, suppressed emotions, you know? I just wanted to use this character as an outlet to show an opposite spectrum of Liv, you know?
But, I’m very happy and bubbly and I just wanted the pitch for it to come on the opposite spectrum of that.
My Take:
- That seems like something that WWE can explore in the future. It would be cool to see her potentially join forces with The Fiend and Alexa Bliss down the road.
