Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Update On Aleister Black
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer spoke about the rumor that Aleister Black asked WWE management to send him back to NXT.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about the situation:
”There were reports Aleister Black asked to go back to NXT and was turned down. That’s basically true as far as smoke and fire but not exactly true. We were told he didn’t directly ask and get turned down, but he did float the idea around and nobody seemed interested when he did so”
My Take:
- I have to imagine that Aleister will be leaving WWE soon. This comes after his wife, Zelina Vega, was fired from WWE. I can’t see this ending well.
4) WWE Changed The Plans For The Final Member Of Team Smackdown
On the latest episode of Smackdown, Otis was named as the final member of Team Smackdown at Survivor Series. According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Big E was originally planned to be the final member of the Smackdown men’s team.
A qualifying match involving Big E was supposed to air on Smackdown last week but it was pulled due to time constraints:
There was a plan for his qualifying match to air on the November 13 episode of Smackdown before it was pulled due to time constraints.
My Take:
- I was shocked that Big E wasn’t the final member of Team Smackdown. I like Otis but I would have preferred for Big E to get the opportunity.
