Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Backstage Note On Finn Balor
According to WrestlingNews.co, there was a recent pitch to turn Finn Balor heel but that didn’t go anywhere. WWE is now planning to use Balor to just put over younger talent.
Here is what the site said:
WrestlingNews.co spoke with someone in WWE about Balor’s clean loss to Theory and we were told the following:
“Yea, Finn was moved into the spot that Jeff Hardy had. He’s just there now to help get over the younger guys. There was a pitch to make him heel but that was weeks ago and I haven’t heard much about it since then. Vince never saw Finn as more than just a mid card guy. Heyman would have pushed him to the moon but Vince just never saw it.
My Take:
- I love Balor, so this is a bummer if true. I feel like he could be a top guy if given the chance.
4) Backstage Note On Austin Theory
According to WrestlingNews.co, WWE has some big plans for Austin Theory in the Royal Rumble match. He could end up in the final 4 of the match. He could also end up as a main event talent in WWE over the next year.
Here is what the site wrote:
Austin [Theory] is going to get time to shine in the Rumble match. Last I heard was he will be in the final 4 or 5 at the end of the match.”
The same source also told us that McMahon feels that Theory will become a main eventer within the next year.
My Take:
- Definitely seems like it is going that way based on his segments with Vince.
