Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) ROH Star To WWE?
At Final Battle, PCO defeated RUSH to win the ROH World Championship.
RUSH dropping the belt has led to a lot of speculation that he could be leaving Ring of Honor at the end of 2019.
WWE has had some major interest in signing RUSH in the past, which makes them a strong option if he leaves. RUSH is also really good friends with current WWE star, Andrade.
My Take:
- I am sure that WWE will give him a big offer. I could see RUSH having a nice run in NXT.
4) Late Changes Made To The RAW Script
RAW this week featured a RAW Tag Team Championship match between The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits. The Raiders ended up winning after only a few minutes.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this match was booked at the last-minute.
This match was actually supposed to be much longer but it was cut for time. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
The show had a couple of timing issues. The opening segment went way long as did a few other things early. So they were cutting back on time and the make-up was Vikings vs. Street Profits who were supposed to have a 15:00 competitive match and were cut to 3:00 with no time to tell the story of the Street Profits hanging with the tag champs, coming close and the respect endorsement from the champs at the end. That match was not on the original schedule but was a replacement for a planned Rollins vs. Alexander match that was pulled due to Rollins’ injury.
My Take:
- That is a major bummer. I wish that they scrapped the match completely because it feels like they wasted a strong match-up.
