Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Kofi Kingston Update
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Kofi Kingston is not cleared to compete right now. That is why he didn’t appear on RAW this week alongside Xavier Woods.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
For those asking about Kofi Kingston disappearing from WWE TV and not being part of Summerslam or Raw, PWInsider.com has been told by multiple sources that he is not currently cleared to perform. Kingston was originally slated to be part of the promotional segment pushing the Pure Life Purified Water brand with Xavier, dressed as another member of the NWO, but obviously that did not happen. He was not on the road this weekend. WWE has released a NWO parody shirt using the old logo for NDR – New Day Rocks.
My Take:
- Hopefully it isn’t anything serious and Kofi will be back right away!
4) Bray Wyatt Not Heading To AEW?
According to Bryan Alvarez, he has heard rumors that Bray Wyatt is not heading to AEW. This comes after rumors that Bray would be heading to the promotion.
Here is what Alvarez said:
“On the Wrestling Observer Radio show with Garrett, I don’t know the exact wording that Dave (Meltzer) used but he seemed to indicate that Bray Wyatt was going to AEW. What I can tell you about this, I am not saying that Dave is wrong. He may be right and it may happen but, as soon as that show went up I started getting text messages and they were from people in AEW. It was not Tony Khan.
“These were people that probably should know and they were like ‘did Dave say that Bray is coming?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know, I didn’t do the show, I haven’t heard it yet.’ Essentially, they were unaware of this. Again, I am not saying that Bray isn’t going or that Dave is wrong. Dave may know something that they don’t know, which would be sort of weird. But that’s the story right now.
“What I think I can safely say is I do not believe it is a guarantee that Bray Wyatt is going to AEW. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. To me, this is not like CM Punk where CM Punk was going to AEW and I’m like 99.9999 percent sure that Bryan Danielson is going to AEW. I would not say anything resembling that for Bray Wyatt. I’m not saying it’s not gonna happen, maybe it will but I would put it at much less than 99.9999 percent at this point.”
My Take:
- I do think Bray could end up there. AEW would be lucky to have him. We will have to wait and see though.
