Rumor Roundup: WWE Making A Change To PPV Booking, A “First Time Ever” Match At TLC, More

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

5) The Scrapped Plans For A Title Change Before Survivor Series

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE was originally planning a Title change prior to Survivor Series.

The original plan was going to be Shinsuke Nakamura dropping his Intercontinental Title. Those plans have now been scrapped, with Nakamura vs AJ Styles vs Roderick Strong remaining on the card at Survivor Series. Here is what Meltzer said:

“Daniel Bryan, I believe was going to be in the match with Roderick Strong and AJ [Styles], which would have been an absolutely incredible three-way. I just know that Nakamura was losing the title to someone. He was being programmed with Bryan. It could have been Ali [that he would have lost the title to]. When Bryan got moved into the Wyatt match, Nakamura is now not losing so that has changed. So they changed that booking. The rest of the card is largely announced.”


4) Singles Match Not Happening At Survivor Series Anymore

There was a rumor for the past few weeks that the Survivor Series card could feature Bobby Lashley vs Rusev. This feud has been going on for the past several weeks on Monday Night RAW.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Rusev vs Lashley isn’t planned for Survivor Series anymore.

The likely destination for their singles match is the TLC PPV in December. If true, that means several more weeks of this storyline on our televisions.
