Rumor Roundup: The Plans For The Lashley-McIntyre Feud, NXT Stipulation Match Will Be Returning, More

3) WWE Made Sure That Gronk Couldn’t Go To AEW

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE put a clause in Rob Gronkowski’s release that says he can’t work for another pro-wrestling company.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

WWE did put in a clause in his release that by granting him the release he couldn’t work for any other pro wrestling promotion during the terms of the original contract.

My Take:

  • I guess WWE has learned their lesson from the Monday Night Wars.

2) AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan Is A Match To Look Forward To

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, the match between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan (for the Intercontinental Championship) was “unbelievable”. The match was taped in advance last week and has been getting some really good reviews.

Here is what Sapp wrote about it:

Even though the finals don’t happen for several weeks, WWE did film the Intercontinental Title tournament finals on the May 26 tapings between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan. We’re told that the match was “unbelievable” and legitimately pumped up a very tired NXT PC crowd that was there to cheer.

My Take:

  • I can’t wait to watch. Should be a banger of a match.
