Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Early WWE Draft Rumors
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shared two names who he thinks will be moving from Smackdown to RAW in the upcoming WWE Draft. Those names are AJ Styles and John Morrison.
Here is what Meltzer said:
“Guys who do jobs in a manner that they normally wouldn’t are probably pretty good candidates to be switching. When I watched it I was like AJ and John Morrison.”
My Take:
- Styles seems like a lock based on the rumors that he is unhappy with missing his son’s football games on Friday nights. Morrison would also be an interesting one. I like his pairing with The Miz but I would also like to see him get a chance as a singles guy. I am interested to see what happens.
4) Scrapped Plans For NXT After Wrestlemania 36
Eric Young was recently a guest on the Sitting Ringside with David Penzer podcast. During this, Eric revealed some plans that were in place for him before he was released by WWE.
Eric says that there were plans for him to go back to NXT after Wrestlemania 36. These plans were scrapped because of the pandemic and he was ultimately released by the company:
“I was still talking with Hunter and he was very interested in having me back in NXT after WrestleMania. That is where I was supposed to go. Obviously plans changed and the pandemic happened and I got furloughed or fired. I say fired but they are going to say furloughed because it sounds better.”
My Take:
- Young would have been a nice fit for RETRIBUTION. Still, I am happy to see him doing well outside of WWE and I wish him the best of luck.
