Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) New WWE Names
According to Heel By Nature, WWE has recently filed a trademark for “Franky Monet”. The company has also recently filed a trademark for “Symbiosis”.
It looks like these could be names of some new WWE Superstars who are in developmental.
My Take:
- I am interested to see who ends up with these names. Symbiosis is definitely a unique one.
4) More On The ‘Thigh Slapping’ Ban In WWE
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE has put up a sign in their backstage area that says “NO THIGH SLAPPING.” This comes after news that Superstars will be fined for slapping their thighs during matches to make a sound (during strikes).
Here is what Sapp wrote:
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that wrestlers were getting fined or punished for “thigh slapping” their strikes, and that a memo was sent to NXT talent to advise against it. Fightful can’t confirm the fines, but last week, we were told that a sign was up at WWE events with big, bold letters that said “NO THIGH SLAPPING.” The memo was sent out to talent in February.
My Take:
- I do agree that an obvious thigh slap can look bad during a match. I am interested to see if we notice any big differences in matches in the upcoming weeks.
