Rumor Roundup: Possible Surprise If Evolution II Happens, The Plans For AJ Styles At Summerslam, More

3) NXT Talent Unaware About The Mask Fine

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the NXT talents who he spoke to were unaware of a fine system in place for not wearing masks while at WWE TV tapings. This fine system is something that was reported recently,

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

The new policy that went into effect the next day was a $500 fine for not wearing a mask the first time and a $1,000 fine a second violation. However, even though WWE confirmed that officially, NXT talent used as extras claimed to be unaware of a fine system for not wearing masks.

My Take:

  • Sounds like a communication issue from WWE. That is definitely something they need to work on.

2) Jeff Hardy’s Future

According to journalist Tom Colohue, WWE has not been able to convince Jeff Hardy to sign a new contract.

Here is what Colohue had to say:

The worst part of this whole storyline is that Jeff Hardy is really unlikely to pick up any wins, any actual wins. He’s been buried on the way out of the door because they cannot convince him to sign a new contract. He just doesn’t seem interested. If they can convince him, they would probably start writing storylines that actually work in his favour, but really right now, this doesn’t suit anyone.

My Take:

  • I have to wonder if Jeff is thinking about going to AEW to join Matt. We will have to wait and see but I am sure that it is something that is on the table.
