Rumor Roundup: Universal Title Plans, Botched Finish At Fastlane, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Finish Botched At Fastlane

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the finish of the match between Big E and Apollo Crews at Fastlane was botched.

The ending saw Big E retain after he reversed a pin from Apollo. This led to confusion as it looked like Apollo may have kicked out in time. Meltzer noted that Big E was still supposed to win but the match ending didn’t go down as planned.

My Take:

  • This was definitely a weird finish. It seemed to work out though as Apollo attacked Big E after the match and kept their feud going.

4) Speculation On A Possible Title Change In NXT

On the Sunday Night’s Main Event podcast, Dave Meltzer spoke about the match between Karrion Kross and Finn Balor at Takeover: Stand & Deliver. Meltzer speculated that Kross will be winning the belt here as he was originally planned to have a lengthy reign prior to his injury.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“He had the title. He got injured so they took it away, but he was scheduled for a run, you know to make a name. So, I presume, because Balor was just a plug-in when he was gone, that they are going to go back [to Kross as NXT Champion].”

My Take:

  • This would make sense and I think that it is going to happen too. Balor has had a good reign with the belt but I think it will be coming to an end against Kross.
