Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) WWE’s Mindset When Signing Independent Talent
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, some people in WWE feel like they need to “beat the independent” out of big names who sign with the company.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
One person noted the mindset is that when WWE would sig independent talent, they would first have to beat “the independent” out of them when it came to work style, but then when in the main roster, they had to beat “the NXT” out of them.
My Take:
- This seems like a bad mindset. They should let the wrestlers be more of themselves instead of a boxed in version that they want. I also see WWE’s side though, as they have had success for so many years doing it their way.
4) Baron Corbin’s Future
A few months ago, WWE filed a trademark for “Happy Corbin”. This appears to be a hint at what WWE has planned for Baron Corbin’s character moving forward.
This comes after Corbin stole the Money in the Bank briefcase after being down on his luck.
My Take:
- I have enjoyed the Corbin storyline, so I am interested to see where this goes.
