Rumor Roundup: Samoa Joe’s In-Ring Future, RAW Star Possibly Injured, More

3) Another Possible NXT Call-Up

According to Wrestling INC, Mansoor wrestled at the latest taping for WWE Main Event. Mansoor defeated Drew Gulak during the show.

This has led to some speculation that Mansoor could have been quietly called up to the WWE main roster.

My Take:

  • I feel like Mansoor isn’t ready for the main roster yet. You never know but this would be a strange call up.

2) NXT Tag Team Has Impressed Backstage

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, The Grizzled Young Veterans have impressed a lot of people within NXT. Sapp says that they were originally penciled in to win the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic but WWE made the late change to Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne instead

Here is what Sapp wrote:

GYV have impressed many within NXT, but that’s nothing new. They made it to the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic each of the past two years. In asking around, Fightful was told that originally, the Grizzled Young Vets were penciled in to win last year’s tournament. The Broserweight combo of Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle took off, and plans changed accordingly.

My Take:

  • I have really enjoyed their work so far and am excited to see more from them.
